QUESTION 4 OF 40

At Verizon, we pride ourselves on being resourceful. When have you been able to resolve a problem in your workplace?

Problem-solving and dispute resolution are fundamental skills to possess and will likely be a question your interviewer will ask. Have a prepared example ready for a time you solved a problem at your last position.

"In my most recent position, we had a consistent problem with employees showing up late for their shifts or calling in sick at the last minute. Rather than the typical documenting and reprimanding style, I decided to track the results of an accountability reward system. For 180 days, my employees received a reward for coming to work 10 minutes early. I also added a bonus for every month with zero sick days. In the end, we awarded those with perfect attendance a 600 bonus. The bonuses cost us less money than the cost of lowered productivity due to absent employees. The program was a success, and upper management chose to keep it implemented for another six months. We will re-assess in December, but it seems to be working very well. If I were to be hired, I'd bring that same sense of problem-solving and positive reinforcement to the Verizon team."

"Currently, as assistant manager, I resolve problems daily. The most recent resolution process I was a part of included a customer complaint about a defective product. I resolved her concern by listening to her, apologizing, issuing a refund, and offering a replacement product. I am no stranger to dispute resolution, problem-solving, and creative customer service, and I believe my approach would be in line with the customer-focused approach Verizon espouses."
