"Overcoming challenges is a key part of an application integration engineer's job. Regardless of how well you plan a project, something unexpected always occurs and needs to be resolved. While I don't look for problems, I enjoy challenges that require me to innovate and be creative to resolve them. For example, I encountered an issue with one of my tools to integrate an application in my last job. It didn't operate properly with the other tools the team was using. After some thought, it occurred to me that there may be a patch available from the vendor. I contacted them and confirmed that they had a solution to this issue. I quickly applied the patch into the tool, and it worked perfectly."
