How to Answer the Question:
Be honest and only give examples that relate to successful decision-making in the workplace. Have an answer ready for this question. You will lose points during the job interview if you hesitate and wait too long to answer the question. The employer wants to see that you can be trusted to think about problems before they arise. Answering this question calmly and quickly will prove that point rather effectively.
A good answer will involve a time when your decision led to favorable results in a work setting. Do not give answers about your personal life like when you had to tell your girlfriend how she looked in a dress. Keep your answers professional and relevant throughout the hiring process.

While working at Target, I was stocking the shelves in my area and I over heard a customer getting frustrated with a customer because the customer was enraged. As we all know, the customer is always right so I went over and asked the customer how I personally could be of assistance to her. She was still frustrated yet she allowed me to help her. I threw in a few jokes as I assisted her and in no time she was laughing and all was forgiven.

July 6th, 2011 at 4:31 pmThe Battalion was traveling from an over seas tour of duty. The problem was the logistical task whereas once all the Duffer Bags arrived back at the United States. How could it (Duffer Bags) be separated, whereas it cans be off loaded, off the Air Plane onto an waiting vehicle, in route too their designated location? So I suggested to my First Sergeant, why not use a marker and mark within the bottom center of each bag the location to which it was to travel. So within no time, so to say, all of the bags were labeled and loaded.
