What decisions have you mulled over in the past six months? What things kept you up at night? These make great examples when answering this question. Start off by sharing what decision you were trying to make, and share why the decision was so challenging for you. If possible, use a work-related or school-based scenario to show the interviewer that you are accustomed to making difficult decisions in these relatable settings.

"One of the most difficult decisions I have made in the past few months was to decide to pursue other work. I am deeply engrained in the processes of criminals in the system where I work and it is a tough decision to uproot that but one I made to continue to challenge myself and achieve my own personal career aspirations."

This definitely sounds difficult! Consider explaining why you found it to be challenging. Give the interviewer more insight into why you made this decision and how you feel about it.
Prepare for scenario-based questions that test your judgment and supervision skills.
