      Answer Example

      "Overcoming challenges is a key part of an application analyst's job. Regardless of how well you plan a project, something unexpected always occurs and needs to be resolved. While I don't look for problems, I enjoy challenges that require me to innovate and be creative to resolve them. For example, I encountered an issue with one of my tools to analyze applications in my last job. It didn't integrate with the company's ERP system. After some thought, it occurred to me that there may be an API available from the vendor. I contacted them and confirmed that they had a solution to this issue. I quickly integrated the API into the application, and it worked perfectly."
