What challenges do you anticipate in this new role with Red Bull?
Interviewers at Red Bull want to hear that you understand what will be expected of you and are capable of navigating challenges at work. Your answer to this question will give the interviewer a better sense of your self-awareness surrounding your strengths and weaknesses and your ability to power through difficulties.
"I am looking forward to using my experience as a sales associate to help increase product visibility and exceed sales quotas at Red Bull. I am motivated by the challenge of meeting strict deadlines for client demands. When I was working for my previous company, I prioritized listening to customer needs and making sure I was clear on client expectations. I was so meticulous about details, checking my numbers at the end of every week and ensuring my clients were fully stocked with all of the products they needed."
"Because this is a new industry for me, I am expecting that the biggest challenge will be learning the industry lingo, behaviors, and complex needs. I am excited to learn and have already started studying up on industry-related topics."

- larger organization
- bigger projects

A challenge I anticipate will be getting started with my first few clients. I'm fairly new to sales but I know that with some coaching and practice I'll be great at selling Red Bull's brand in no time.
Cindy's Feedback
Good! When revising, try to put less emphasis on what you don't know and more on your ability to handle what is ambiguous or unclear.
"One of the challenges of a new career and workplace is getting to know clients and being able to successfully sell our product. To sell them successfully, I will need to learn about our products and the customer's needs and discover ways to make the match. This is a learning curve I'm prepared for, thanks to my education, and excited to undertake."
