Describe A Meeting You Remember Going To At Work, College or School Sample Answer I remember when I went in for my first day at work, and it felt like no one was there. Thankfully the office manager came in shortly after I did and gave me a tour. There were three other employees in the office when she took me to meet them, two assistants, and an intern just getting started with their placement here. The initial meeting was about one hour and memorable because there were only four people present at the meeting and no tech managers. Not what I expected for the headquarters of a wireless tech company! The office manager told me that the company has two tech managers who travel wherever needed. From my understanding, these techs do not work full-time at this particular location but rather visit on an as-needed basis. So it can be challenging to start working with someone right away. After that initial meeting, most other meetings were held online via Google Hangouts or Zoom. Onl...

Yes, over the years I’ve made several good friends that I met in different places and at different times, like at school, university and work. How often do you get together with your friends? I guess with my best friends, currently, we probably see each other maybe once a week or once every two weeks if we are busy. Sometimes we all get together, there are five of us, and do something or go out to eat together. And sometimes maybe only two or three of us meet up if the others are busy.

Describe a difficult decision you made with limited information. How did you decide what to do? In my last job as a Project Manager at ACME Construction, I faced a tough situation where I had to make a decision with limited information. We were working on a project with a tight deadline, and a key team member suddenly left the company. This left a critical gap in our project plan, and we had to decide quickly how to proceed. The decision was difficult because we had limited information about the team member's specific tasks and progress. We also didn't have a clear picture of the timeline or budget implications of replacing them. However, I knew that delaying a decision would only make the situation worse. To make the best decision possible, I used my problem-solving and critical thinking skills. I gathered as much information as I could from other team members, reviewed the project plan, and analyzed the potential risks and rewards of different options. I also c...
