In your opinion, what makes you a great problem solver?
Employers want to know that you have a methodical approach to problem-solving. Consider the skills and qualities that help you successfully face problems. Perhaps you have a keen eye for detail. Maybe you can see opportunity when others can only focus on the issue. Share your strengths as a problem solver, and your ability to come up with innovative solutions.

Anonymous Answer
I operate on the concept that every problem has a solution. I am a quick learner and am willing to do the research necessary to understand why the situation has occurred and what we can do to not only correct it, but to prevent it from arising in the future.
