Have you ever had something go wrong that you were working on, and you had to fix it? For instance, the State Dept lost my boss's passport one time when it was sent in for renewal. Had to jump through hoops to get it replaced in time for his trip.

Have you ever reorganized something (filing system, mail room, etc.) because it wasn't working well and you had some ideas to improve the efficiency of it?

Have you ever had someone get stuck with something (such as gee's computer example, but it could be anything) and they came to you to brainstorm ideas?

Think about those kinds of things.

I'll also say, just as something to mull over... If you DON'T have any examples, this may be an area that needs improvement for you, as it may indicate that your co-workers don't think of you as a resource when they have a problem or you may not be showing enough initiative in your workplace. Not meaning that unkindly. It's just something to think about.
