Tell me a time you fixed a problem beforehand
The interviewer needs to understand how you identify problems and fix well before these become major problems.
Tell about your work practices which you use to track projects, review and monitor progress to identify gaps.
Walk through an example and tell about e.g. a client's meeting, location visit, surprise check during new product launch.
Show what you observed and initiated the actions to avoid a fiasco.

Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.
World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility
As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
