[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 231404, member: 42112"] Hi! When answering this sort of question, it might help to focus less on the specific action and more on the skills that the question is testing. Therefore, have a think about how you would show: [LIST] [*]Awareness of deadlines and responsibility [*]The ability to prioritise realistically [*]Proactive and early communication [*]Offering solutions rather than creating / bringing problems [/LIST] The way that I would structure it is: [I]briefly assess the situation -> explain how you'd communicate with supervisors -> show how you'd agree a sensible way forward and deliver on it.[/I] The graduate recruitment team won't necessarily be looking for the 'perfect' outcome - they are much more interested in your judgement and thought-process whilst making the decision! :) [/QUOTE]
