There could be many factors that make a job difficult. It could be the size of the project, the weather, problems with the concrete mixing trucks or the mud, or clients who got in the way or were unhappy about some aspect of your work. The interviewer wants to hear about your most difficult concrete job to see how you handle adversity and problem solve. Choose a complex project and refrain from speaking poorly of customers, even if they were the reason the job was challenging.

"The most difficult concrete job I have worked on was grinding, chopping, and patching a high-rise building that sustained earthquake damage. My crew and I were working 20 stories high on scaffolding and had to pulley all the materials up to the site, which was time-consuming and laborious. Also, we were on the coast, and high winds would pick up in the afternoon, causing the scaffolding to sway and our materials to slide away from us. It was more challenging being that high off the ground, but we rigged a system to keep our materials close to us when the winds picked up, which solved the problem."
