Tell me about a time you worked in a team
When I studied at Ulsan University I had to manage a major research project with four other international
and Korean students. I had to create a research design plan, organize meetings and contact each
member of staff for updates. Our multicultural group had to complete the project over the break, I
decided to created a work plan chart and online group resources. This led to my group completing the work
ahead of schedule. Also, I managed to get funding ($) for the project through local donations (you did not
others!). This is now why I was recommended as the top researcher of the year in my class.
