Interview Question for Leadership Development Program (Entry Level) at Allstate:

I think she was trying to give me a softball question, but it caught me off guard. I was a dumb 18 year old, I wasn't exactly strategic about much of everything. I've noticed this in interviews that they sometimes firmly frame something in a way that doesn't fit with your experience. I've made the mistake of trying to answer the question with the same framing but I think I would have done better to reframe it and share real experiences of challenges and successes.
