The interviewer wants to understand your ability to think outside the box and what resources you tap into when facing complicated problems. Offer some examples relevant to your industry. Show the interviewer that you are experienced and prepared to manage these situations by demonstrating determination. Present yourself as resourceful with a predisposition to think fast on your feet.

"When faced with a complicated problem, I will look to the resources my current company has provided me. The answer is almost always in there. If it's a moral dilemma rather than a knowledge-based dilemma, I will ask my supervisor for his thoughts and opinion since I value him as a mentor and expert in our industry."

"If there's a complicated problem, I'll write out what I think the possible solutions would be and note what my gut tells me to do. Then, I will weigh those potential solutions against one another and list the complications that may arise as a result of each choice. Also, I am always open to input or suggestions from those with more experience than I and look to my mentors, their experience, and the training resources, as well as potentially talk the problem out with coworkers or my boss."
