QUESTION 31 OF 35

What do you do when you are given an assignment and don't know how to complete the task?

The interviewer asks this question to gain insight into your communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They want to understand how you tackle unfamiliar assignments and know you will ask for help when needed.

"It depends on the assignment. If I believe I can research it and figure out how to complete the task, I will go that route. Suppose the job is something particular to the company I am working for, and there is a specific way to complete it. In that case, I will tell the person giving me the assignment that I am unfamiliar with how to do the task. I will ask them to show me or point me in the right direction so I complete the assignment correctly."

"I like to research how to perform unfamiliar tasks since I like using critical thinking skills. If I cannot find an answer during my research, I will ask a senior colleague or my supervisor for guidance."
