Sink or swim
Tell us about a time when you were left on your own, to fend for yourself in an overwhelming situation — on the job, at home, at school. What was the outcome?
I have actually not one but two times where I had to fend for myself. Once was at work and the other was at college. The first time was when my supervisor was out sick. An editor an magazine came in and presented a problem. His graphic designer had made an error when designing an ad. We worked it out to me sending him our current logo to so that he could get to his graphic designer to place in the magazine. This was the first time I really had to make a decision on the spot at work. The other time was while in college, the leader for a class group project didn’t show up and I jumped in and took over as the leader. It turned out really well as I was able to communicate with the group members and then communicate afterward to get the project done.
