How would you handle it if you believed strongly in a recommendation you made in a meeting but most of your co-workers shot it down?

When providing your answer, ensure you appropriately present the backdrop of the situation you're presenting. This simple question can open the door to a wide variety of complex answers, from what you consider an achievement to how you'd define a lack of recognition or acknowledgment.

"I used to experience that early on in my career--feeling like I wasn't recognized for my contributions. But, now I realize if I want to be heard out, it's up to me to communicate my vision and be assertive in my efforts to be heard out. This way, I ensure whatever I bring to the table is my best and communicated to the best of my ability. I can't blame others for not sharing my vision when I'm incapable of illustrating that vision. If it gets shelved, I learn what I can from the experience and move on. Often, the sheer feeling of rejection is the only setback because that feeling can paralyze you and keep you from moving forward. I like to think I'm past that, but everyone thinks they're ready until they're not. Who knows what the future holds?"
