When interviewers ask you this interview question, they want to know about the struggles you've faced in your previous jobs and how you overcame them. They also want to assess your problem-solving skills, which will give them an idea of how you'd face similar challenges in the role you're interviewing for.

Prepare for this question by considering all of the challenges that you were able to solve or overcome in past positions and in school and what valuable lessons you learned. Tailor your answer to the job description by taking time to review the job posting or job description before the interview.

"A long-term client was about to take their business to a competitor. I suggested that our CAD team meet with our manager to discuss the customer's concerns. We discussed our challenges and lack of efficiency, and how we could change how we handled the account on a day-to-day basis, in order to keep the business. From this situation, I learned the importance of being mindful of client relations and operations, not just after issues arise, but for the duration of the relationship. As a result, other team managers adopted my check-in and management processes, and have also seen improved results with their accounts."
