QUESTION 12 OF 35

Tell me a problem you recently faced where you were unsure of the answer. How did you research the problem and find the correct solution?

When interviewers ask to tell them a problem you faced and how you found a solution, they are looking to see how you solve problems using critical-thinking skills. Working as a virologist requires you to have problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and the interviewer wants to know how you work in this situation. Describe a problem you recently faced and how you found the correct solution.

"I was recently called by a lab assistant who had never seen red blood cells look the way they did under the microscope and wanted my opinion. I also had never seen red blood cells cluster in a uniform and engineered way that they did. I researched online to see if other medical professionals had identified the same, and discovered it was due to a particular ingredient in a vaccine the patient had recently been given."
