Everyone has had their share of challenges in their career. The interviewer knows that you are not perfect; however, they need to know that you can professionally overcome work-related roadblocks.
Maybe you had a significant project that almost went sideways. Perhaps you had a conflict in the workplace that you could have handled more professionally. Explain your approach to resolving the issue and highlight the steps you took to reach that resolution.

"The most challenging problem I encountered in my career was with my most recent employer. I had a significant project that comprised most of my annual budget. Due to extensive international travel, the client was challenging to work with because he was rarely available for comment. I needed this deal to work out, so, for six months, I made my work hours reflect his time zone. That allowed us to communicate via Skype daily. It also meant a fair share of late-night and early-morning calls for me! It was a sacrifice; however, I would do it again. I understand that sacrifices need to be made for successful outcomes."

"The most challenging problem I encountered in my career was when my former company experienced a major merger. It was a lot of adjusting to new leadership, new processes, and a change in resources. I maintained a positive attitude throughout the transition and spoke up when I needed clarity or to understand the "why" behind a change. I'm adaptable and felt like this change helped me develop professionally."
