QUESTION 20 OF 30

Describe a difficult decision you've had to make and the outcome.

"Deciding on my major was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. I'm interested in so many subjects and having to choose one area of focus felt like I was being boxed in. I ended up choosing the major that I was most interested in and could see myself doing long-term."

The interviewer wants to know if you are someone who can make difficult decisions on the job. Describe a situation where you've had to make a tough decision. Share your thought process, feelings, and the outcome.

"I got accepted into both of my top choices for college and had to make the decision on which one I would attend. Both schools offered the program I was interested in but one was located out of state and it would be my first time away from my family. I decided to go with the school out of state because I ultimately wanted to experience new things. I was scared and unsure, but it was the best decision I've made."
