QUESTION 14 OF 31

When have you been asked to perform a function or complete a task in which you had little or no experience in doing?

Have you ever had to take on a task or a role that you felt was over your experience level? Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have dealt with this type of situation. What was the outcome, and what did you learn?

"When my manager went on unexpected medical leave for three months last year I was asked to step into her position in the interim. I knew the basics but was certainly not trained on the specifics of the role. I was able to take it on successfully by leaning on my team, reading a lot of company manuals, and asking many questions. Once my manager returned she was very pleased with the progress that I made, and I was promoted."

Anonymous Answer

When I was promoted to training coordinator with my current employer, I only had one week of training before I began the new position. I eventually not only learned the position but was promoted to be a designated trainer where I would train new training coordinators from other centers.

Amanda's Feedback

Great job! You've used a strong example with a positive outcome. You can make it even stronger by sharing the skills or characteristics you used to excel as a training coordinator such as adaptability or an ability to learn quickly.
