How to show that you're a problem solver in an interview ✨   Last week we shared questions you could be asked in an interview to test your problem-solving skills.   As experts in business support roles within private equity and alternative investments, here are our ideas for how you should respond 👇   1. Tell me about a situation where you took the initiative to resolve a work-related challenge without seeking managerial input. What approach did you follow, and what were the outcomes?   👉 This question assesses your ability to independently address work-related issues. Employers want to understand if you can take initiative and solve problems without relying solely on managerial guidance.   2. Share an instance when you proactively identified and rectified a potential problem before it escalated. How did you go about it, and what were the results?   👉 Employers ask this question to evaluate your core skills such as problem-solving and prevention skills. They want to know if you can anticipate issues and take action to mitigate them before they become significant problems.   3. Share an example where you used intuition or prior experience to anticipate and effectively address a problem.   👉 By asking this question, employers can assess your ability to leverage intuition and past experiences for problem-solving. They want to know if you can apply lessons learned to make informed decisions.   4. Reflect on a time when you encountered efficiency challenges in your role. How did you overcome these obstacles to enhance your job performance?   👉 By asking this question, employers are able to evaluate your adaptability and ability to improve efficiency. They want to understand how you tackle challenges that hinder job performance and whether you can find effective solutions.   5. Describe a challenging work situation that required critical thinking and decision-making under pressure. How did you handle it?   👉 This question assesses your ability to think and make decisions under pressure. Employers want to know if you can effectively handle high-stress situations and manage crisis scenarios.   👀 Follow us on Instagram to see our weekly candidate top tips - https://lnkd.in/eeU9WZ68
