When have you been asked to perform a function or complete a task in which you had little or no experience in doing?

"When my manager went on unexpected medical leave for three months last year, I was asked to step into her position in the interim. I knew the basics but was not trained on the specifics of the role. I was able to take it on successfully by leaning on my team, reading a lot of company manuals, and asking many questions. Once my manager returned, she was very pleased with the progress I made, and I received a promotion."

"At times, I will be asked to perform tasks in our computer system that I am not completely familiar with. When this happens, I don't ask for help right away. Rather, I search for the answer either in our manuals or online. I am comfortable taking on new tasks and enjoy learning new skills."
