The interviewer wants to hear that you will ask questions if you are unsure how to do something in the way they ask. Asking questions shows you want to do the task correctly and have no problem asking for clarification when needed. It is much better to ask questions than to do a job incorrectly and have to redo your work, costing the company time and money. Describe how you would seek clarification if an assignment is unclear.

You want to avoid saying that you would try to figure out how to do the assignment without telling the interviewer that you do not understand. It is better to ask questions and do the job right the first time. Asking questions also shows you are eager to learn new techniques and ways of doing things.

"If you asked me to do something in a way that I was not used to, I would tell you that I was unfamiliar with the way you want it done and ask you to explain or show me. I would rather ask questions and make sure I am doing the task right the first time. Once I understood how you want it done, I would need no further guidance in the future."
