How did you handle your most challenging experience in your previous job?

How do you answer 'How did you handle your most challenging experience in your previous job' in a job interview?

• Answer:

  Think of a stressfull thing that happened at your last job. Then write a short description of what it was and what you did. Did you work to resolve the problem? Did you remove yourself from the problem and let other handle it? Stuff like that. Just a short explaination of what happened. This is more related to problem solving., first, think of a problem you had in you work and what is the action/ solution you have taken to resolve. It is always better to explain the point in logical order with a good example. When answering a question like this, you should always try and remember two things: use an example use the word 'teamwork' Employers want to know how you handle stress, how you worked through that problem, and if you're a team player. I was young and naive, and I quit. I was being treated with such disrespect and was being sexually harassed. I didn't know I had grounds to sue and that if they continued to treat me that way they'd be liable. I couldn't take it, so I left after my shift one day and never went back. I completely regret handling it that way because I was there 3 years and built up a lot of skills and experience. Had I known then what I know now I'd have come right out to the manager that the person he needed to speak to was not me and that things needed to change. I now know better. Think of specific problems or situations that really tested your skills and abilities and had positive outcomes. Describe the way you analyzed the situation, the skills you used to constructively deal with it and what your particular contribution to resolving it was. Always try to end on a positive note.
