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.
Do's
• Tell about your work practices (Review meeting, Visits, Checklists etc) to stay tuned to monitor progress
• What did you observe? Tell about the problem
• Show the solution implemented
Don'ts
• My boss tells me to solve, it is his duty
Similar Question

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance
Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.
Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.
Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.
As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
