Sometimes the greatest workplace challenge is a difficult task that puts you outside of your comfort zone. It could be something that requires skills you haven't mastered yet or qualities that are not your strongest. Explain to the interviewer why it was difficult, but be sure to spend more time highlighting the actions you took to overcome the challenge.

"The most challenging aspect of my last job was troubleshooting some of the older technology we worked with. We needed some serious upgrades, but they weren't in the budget. Learning how to work around this problem was quite a challenge, but I learned how by referring to old manuals and online forums. I ended up become one of the stronger users of this program in our entire office! I quickly became the go-to person when anyone had questions on the technology."

"The most challenging aspect of my previous position was maintaining a positive attitude at all times. The workplace culture was not a positive one, but I tried to make it so through words of encouragement to my coworkers, trying to facilitate small events for our team to get to know each other a bit better and keeping a smile on my face throughout the day."
