How to Answer
If you are asked to do something in a way that is unfamiliar to you, communication is the key to understanding.

Explain how you would handle this situation.

Answer Example
"If you asked me to do something in a way that was unfamiliar to me, I would tell you that I do not understand your method and ask you to show me what you would like done. Once I am shown your method, I will know how to do it in the future and will not need further clarification."
