Have you ever been involved in an emergency situation? What actions did you and your team take?

Consider urgent problems you have solved in the past or challenges you helped resolve in the workplace or college. Describe how you and your team members worked through the situation, including what steps you took and the outcome. Be sure to mention that you did not allow the situation to ruin your day/week, and you simply did what needed to be done.

"At my current job, a client called late Friday afternoon with an urgent question about their project status. Usually, my boss directly interacts with our clients, but he'd already left for the weekend. I told the client that while I might not know the exact answer, I could help because I was also working on the project. The client was fine with that. We worked through the question together, and I was able to provide enough information that the client felt the rest could wait until Monday. I left a detailed note for my boss asking him to check in with the client on Monday."
