19. When you have a problem at work are you one to carefully consider what is at stake or do you jump in and hope for the best?
How to Answer
It is essential to be able to quickly, yet effectively, assess an issue in the workplace. Talk to the interviewer about how you handle a problem at work.
1st Answer Example
"I have been with my current company for many years, so the majority of problem-solving comes second nature to me at this point. However, when I first started this job, I would have to spend more time in careful consideration before jumping in. I would say that when I have a problem, I have a healthy balance of the two."
2nd Answer Example
"That depends on the situation and seriousness of the problem. I will not jump in with rash decisions on a problem that has a major impact on our business, but I will change coffee vendors on a whim to save money or increase satisfaction."
