"When faced with complicated assignments or issues during my schooling, I looked to the resources I had on hand first, and the answer was typically available with a little bit of digging. If anything ever exceeded what was available to me, I then looked to talk with classmates or my professor. A great example was when I couldn't complete a paper due to a family emergency. I was facing a lot of stress but was granted a three-day extension after simply talking with my professor. I would always be ready to use these problem-solving skills here at Bayer."

"To solve a complex issue, I will 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 types of scenarios are often not covered there, which is why I value a human, experiential approach. I know that so many folks in the industry have so much to teach me and have probably already "been there, done that," so I love to utilize them as a resource. Collaboration is key and something I would always value as part of the Bayer team."

While there are many ways to answer a question like this, with no right or wrong answers, you must show some key things. First, you'll want to reiterate that you use your ability to communicate openly to help you solve issues in your work. If you have an example of a time you did this, now is a great time to bring that up! It's also great to remember Bayer's core values of flexibility and efficiency, so any way you can speak to your flexibility in solving problems and handling things directly will be beneficial.
