"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."
