The interviewer wants to hear that you are open to learning new things and that you are up for a challenge. You should also show that you are not uncomfortable asking for help from your peers or supervisor if needed. Talk about a time you were asked to work on something that was new to you and how you went about learning the steps of that task.

"There have been a few times in my career that I have been asked to complete a task that I was not familiar with. At my previous job, a client asked me to run a test using an instrument that I was not yet trained on. Since this request was brand new to me, and I was not completely sure what the requirements were, I asked my supervisor if there was anyone that help me with this project. My supervisor informed me that another member of my team had recently worked on a similar request and set up a time for the two of us to complete the assignment together. I took notes and had some hands-on training while my coworker observed and answered any questions that I had along the way."
