Interview questions help employers learn about the skills, training, and experience of applicants. Interviewers want to learn about your thought processes and hear you describe how you solve problems and address issues that come up on the job. They want to determine if you can take the initiative and improve the work environment.

"I enjoy when a system works effectively and efficiently, but when a process frequently has problems or takes longer than expected, that's a sign that there's room for improvement. In my past position, our team meetings always ran over the designated timeframe, and we didn't stick to the agenda. People would talk about things they were frustrated with or commiserate about the boss. I suggested we add a short team brainstorming session at the end of each meeting concerning how to improve meetings. It worked and developed into a permanent agenda item. We address the topic for five to 10 minutes each meeting, and we've implemented a variety of ideas from this regular brainstorming session."
