Employers ask this question to learn about your work ethic and commitment level. Many employers are looking for employees who are willing to take on new challenges that result in consistent improvement and benefit the company, instead of doing only exactly what they are told. Provide an example of a situation in a professional capacity, preferably related to a landscape architecture project. Alternatively, provide an example in any other professional or volunteer capacity, or in a university setting. Add that you are confident that your skills will be transferable in this role.

"I am particularly proud of the time I was leading the initial conceptual designs for a handful of small neighborhood parks for our local Parks and Recreation department. The overall funding and design budget were on the lower end, so I spent time, on my own, to speak with adjacent neighborhood leaders, school leaders, and parks maintenance workers to learn about the issues that they were facing and get their input. The parks department was so satisfied by the high level of commitment and quality of my work that they hired our company for all of their upcoming park projects."
