QUESTION 31 OF 33

Describe an ongoing problem at your current or former employer that you were able to overcome.

Every place of employment will have it's challenges. Talk to the interviewer about a specific issue that you were able to overcome in your previous role. Be sure to remain positive. Avoid complaining or saying negative things about your previous employer or co-workers.

"In my most recent position we had an ongoing concern with our most popular stock depleting before the new shipment would come in. Customers would become annoyed and upset, which then became an issue for me as the Customer Service Manager. I decided to document the cycle and then approach the Inventory Manager about my concern. We were able to work on a solution for ordering from that particular supplier. In the end, this solved the majority of supply issues."

Anonymous Answer

I had great experience in both of my practicums. The only thing I wished that was different would be asking my associate teacher to give me more feedback on my lessons in terms of how timing, accommodations, differentiated instructions, and technology.
