Working in the oil and gas sector, you will often be expected to wear many different hats. The interviewer would like to know about a time when you were asked to take on a task for which you knew very little. Have you ever had to take on a responsibility or a role that you felt was over your experience level? Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have dealt with this type of situation. Include the outcome, and what you learned.
"My first management job was the scariest time in my career! I honestly didn't know if I was doing my job well. I led by instinct, took leadership workshops, and spent a lot of time reading books related to effective people management."

As a marketing and sales officer in my previous role, I displayed my strong business acumen in strategy meetings with the CEO. In less than six months, I was provided the opportunity to go past my job requirements of developing and implementing marketing strategies, to carry out competitor and market analyses to present new business and operations strategies. I provided sound recommendations to reshape the company's operations to corner a young market where clients' needs were not being met and grow sales from new products.
