I have my final business case interview tomorrow with @QuantumBlack (McKinsey & Company ) (tech role) and I'm scared about the Personal Experience Leadership question.

I never led any team, at most I "solved problems" but that is part of the "Entrepreneurial drive" question.

I don't want to lie, what should I say if they ask me something about leadership?

First of all I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family (and lots of yummy food). Unfortunately back to the grind tomorrow and back to searching for new job opportunities, this is my most updated resume and I’m not sure if this is the right format to use, would you consider this to be “too modern”??
