What sources do you lean on to solve a complicated problem?

The interviewer wants to know that you can think outside the box or even ask for help when you are stuck on a complicated problem. Your answer will reveal your determination, how resourceful you are, and your communication skills. A performer who has difficulty communicating or is fearful of looking uninformed or inexperienced will go it alone, often taking much longer to progress in their work and delaying the rest of their team. Strive to exhibit sound judgment, a propensity for being resourceful and taking calculated risks, initiative, and leadership potential, so long as it respects the chain of command. Offer some relevant examples based on your industry. Show the interviewer that you can think quickly on your feet and are self-guided in your work, even when relying on your fellow teammates as a resource to succeed.
