While most people work well under ‘normal’ conditions, the recruiter will want to know how you deal with a crisis. As above, use the STAR method to give a quick, clear and informative answer:

☛ Situation: Your team had a presentation at a corporate event but Mark was running late.

☛ Task: You had less than 20 minutes to come up with a solution.

☛ Action: You asked Tara to step in and speak in Mark’s place.

☛ Result: Tara gave a great presentation and the company picked up 4 new leads.
