Allergan is driven by the solutions they create to improve the lives of others, and in the modern age, the ability to solve the most complicated problems is vital to its success. Your interviewer wants to know that you can think outside the box or even ask for help when you are stuck on a complicated problem.

"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 colleagues or supervisor for their thoughts since I value them as mentors and experts in our industry."

"To solve a complex issue in my current job, I reach out to a manager or mentor from a previous role to ask them how they've handled such issues in the past. I am always ready to dive back into our handbook, but these scenarios are often not covered there, which is why I value a human, experiential approach. I know that so many folks in the industry with so much to teach me and have probably already "been-there-done-that," so I love to utilize them as a resource."

Maybe you look to a mentor or boss for advice. Perhaps you have handbooks, manuals, and systems you turn to for help. Offer some relevant examples based on your career field. If you work in the lab setting, you may turn to textbooks, online research, colleagues, or even a patient's history to find the right solution. If you work in customer service, you may ask the customer what they need to find the best way to solve the problem. Show the interviewer that you are knowledgeable and equipped to handle these scenarios.
