You may want to take a minute to think about this question. You not only want to give an example of something that most people would consider to be difficult, but you also need to discuss what made it so difficult for you. Do not use examples that include blaming others for lack of training or that you just didn't know better. Think of a situation where you really had to troubleshoot and use all of your technical knowledge, skills, and abilities to get something done, or even the choice to become an instrument technician in the first place.
"Honestly, choosing to become an instrument technician has been the most difficult thing I've ever tackled. In the beginning, it seemed so time-consuming to try and learn so many different types of instruments. Not only did I have to know about them and what they did, but I also had to figure out how to fix them! There's definitely a reason why you spend up to 7 years as an apprentice--so that you can gain experience in all aspects of the job. There is also a lot of advice out there as to whether you should go to a technical college, get different types of certifications, or go straight to on-the-job training. I don't think any one person does it the same, but it's a long route regardless. I'm very glad that I put in the work to get to where I am today."
