The interviewer would like to understand how you handle high-pressure situations and unexpected difficulties in the workplace. How you answer will inform them of your problem-solving experience, resourcefulness, and capacity for outside-of-the-box thinking. Discuss the steps you would take if this situation happened, relating any applicable scenarios where you've dealt with this in the past.

"It is important to have procedures, but I understand those procedures do not encompass all client needs. If I came across a situation like this, I would rely on my knowledge and experience to troubleshoot and find a solution. If I did not have the answer, I would ask for help from my supervisor or a colleague. It is important to stay calm in situations like these, so the client remains confident in our capabilities. I would never tell a client that I didn't have an answer. 'I will find out' is always the best answer."

"I do not mind going slightly off script if needed. There are sometimes extenuating circumstances where the process does not necessarily work. I will gain permission from my employer if it's a bigger concern than usual since I still want to follow the procedure as much as possible."
