The interviewer wants to see that, despite this recurring problem, you take action to find a resolution. They want to make sure they aren't hiring a chronic complainer who is easily defeated!

Be careful to avoid complaining about your current (or most recent) position. A recurring problem could be a glitchy software system, an employee who is constantly late, or even an unpredictable work schedule. Whatever this recurring issue is, remain optimistic in your reply!

"A recurring problem that I have in my current position is the fact that our client management software is not user friendly. Any entry that I need to make is incredibly time consuming which poses a real problem when a deadline is present, or when we have clients waiting for an answer. I have found that the best workaround for this is to not allow my paperwork to build up. The more proactive I am, the better I can keep ahead of schedule."

"The greatest issue in my current position is that we have so much employee turnover. It started to feel like I was constantly training new staff. I came up with an employee referral bonus program which greatly helped. For every successful referral, our employees get 400 plus another 400 after their referral stays for 3 months. I believe this has been successful because the quality of our employees has greatly increased."
