Tell the interviewer about a project that you worked on, and which went over budget, if that applies to you. Provide examples of what you did to manage the situation. In the event this never happened to you, tell the interviewer what you did to stay within budget.

"I have never had to manage a project that went over budget as I always do my best to anticipate future expenses. However I realize unforeseen circumstances can occur. It is why I attempt to take unanticipated expenses into account when strategically calculating upcoming costs so as to be able to cover these expenses right away."
