UHN values problem-solving skills in its employees. Consider your approach to solving problems in the workplace. Provide your self-assessment and discuss your skills in detail. Consider sharing things like being objective, open-minded, accepting mistakes and failures and learning from them, the ability to get to the root cause of the problem, and how you come up with potential solutions. Speak to your strengths and where you feel you may have room for improvement or further skill development.

"I rate my problem-solving skills as an 8/10. When faced with a problem, I'm able to remain calm and come up with a strategy. I typically investigate to determine the root cause of the problem, and then I look at the problem from multiple perspectives. I try to brainstorm multiple solutions and think about how it will impact others and the costs associated as well."

"I would say I get a solid 8.3 on a scale of 10. It seems weird to give myself something like a .3, but I think of it as an 83%, which is a B- teetering on a solid B. It's a solid grade, with definite room for improvement, since I'm certainly not perfect. The reason for the B-/B grade would be that I'm quick to take action and figure out the solution as I go, but sometimes I could benefit from taking a moment to pause and reflect or gather other contributors before taking action. That said, I believe I generally get the best outcome possible when faced with a challenge."
