QUESTION 5 OF 34

Tell me about an assignment that was too difficult for you as a fire inspector. How did you resolve the issue?

The interviewer wants to see your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Explain a situation that was overwhelming or difficult for you as an inspector and how you solved the issue. You may not have had an assignment that was too difficult or overwhelming. If so, describe how you would handle an assignment that proved difficult.

"I have not experienced an assignment that was too difficult. I tend to break down each assignment into smaller tasks until it is complete. If I encountered an assignment that was overwhelming to me, I would seek assistance from my peers."

Anonymous Answer

I have not experienced an assignment that was too difficult. But I have experienced an assignment where I was performing a type of inspection that I was somewhat unfamiliar with. I performed the inspection and then sought a more senior inspector that reviewed my inspection and provided me with the necessary follow-up required.
