Alexandra's Feedback

Great answer! If I were the interviewer, I may ask for a specific example of a time you solved a problem.

Anonymous Answer

I believe I am a great problem solver. If I don't know the answer to something, I will find an answer either by gathering facts and researching the internet. Also, ask fellow employees how they may have solved the problem.

Lauren's Feedback

Great response! You are resourceful, which is a wonderful quality. I reworded your response slightly.

I believe I am a strong problem-solver due to a high level of resourcefulness. If I am faced with a new situation or challenge, I gather facts, conduct research, and utilize colleagues. I believe every team member comes with a unique and dynamic experience that can be helpful to learn from.

Anonymous Answer

I believe I am a great problem solver. I gather as many facts and information as I can to best solve the problem. I look at the risks and benefits of each outcome to better solve the problem. I am not afraid to choose a way other people may not if I have the knowledge and confidence in my resolution.

What makes me a great problem solver is being a great listener and coming up with the best solution to solving problems.

Marcie's Feedback

Being a great listener is no doubt important when it comes to solving problems. After all, you need to understand the problem first, right? You might also talk about how you try to identify the root causes of the problem, remain persistent and optimistic, seek outside inspiration, make lists of possible solutions, ask others, aim to be resourceful and maintain an outside-of-the-box perspective. Also, provide an example of a time when you successfully solved a complex problem to show the interviewer that you're capable in this area. Good job!
