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.

In my role as a clinical midwife, I am faced with many problems throughout the day. I try to deal with them one at a time. I will also gather all the information I need first to help me make the right decision. I like to try and think a few steps ahead so that I can predict the next problem that might arise.

I like to gather all the details and make sure no information is left out. Knowing who to go to for help or where to find answers is important. Ensuring any issues are dealt with according to policies and procedures is also important.

Rachelle's Feedback
Problem-solving certainly becomes easier when you understand policies, procedures and have allies in the workplace. All fantastic points! If you have another story-based example of when you helped your colleagues or a patient by solving a problem, it would be nice to add in some storytelling. This addition will bring your answer to life even further.
