Tell me about a situation where you took the initiative to solve a problem at work. What was the outcome?

This question is intended to assess your initiative and self-motivation. Interviewers want to see how proactive you are when faced with challenges, particularly in roles where hands-on judgment is essential.

Frame your answer using the STAR method. For example, 'In my role at a fast-food restaurant, I noticed that our kitchen was often backlogged during peak hours. I proposed a new system that organized food prep, which reduced wait times significantly and improved customer satisfaction.'
