You want to come across as confident when answering this question. The more calm and collected a professional is when things don't go according to plan, the more successful they will be in navigating uncharted waters. Whereas someone whose behaviour is dictated by their emotions will be more prone to panic, prone to task paralysis or procrastination, and more likely to communicate in a more volatile manner. Someone who has strong time management skills will set allotted time aside for contingency. Someone who is resourceful will be able to think quickly on the feet and stay productive. All traits of a desirable candidate.

When answering questions such as these, you want to come across as in your comfort zone. Try to convey that going above and beyond is your work standard. Be mindful of your posture and smile with both your mouth and your eyes. Keep your body language open, your tone steady, even, and consistent with your statements. When looking into the camera and answering Modern Hire's questions designed for HSBC, imagine you are speaking to a real person or to an audience. The more charismatic and confident you can be, the more likely you'll land that live interview.
