Some examples of application form and interview questions which are designed to test problem solving skills:
- Tell me about a complex problem you have faced and the steps that you took to solve it.
- Describe a time when you demonstrated creativity in solving a difficult problem.
- Give me an example of when you used good judgment and logic in solving a problem.
- Describe a difficult problem that you have solved, what were the critical issues?
If you are unsure how to structure an answer for either application or interview questions, visit the application and interviews section of our website and find out about the CAR (context, action, result) and STAR (situation, task, action, result) models. Our recommendations are based on feedback from employers.
