Employers want to know that you have a systematic 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.

Focus on describing a few qualities that make you a great problem solver. Better yet, if you have a copy of a letter of recommendation or performance review highlighting your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, share that information with the interviewer.
