Here's how you can showcase your problem-solving skills post-internship in a job interview.

Generally, having a framework assists in having a methodological approach on how you perform problem solving. This will ensure that all problems faced will have the same amount of investigation, and will cover any gaps that may be experienced if a proper approach to solving problems is not followed.

To showcase your problem solving skills, let interviewer know the tasks you have worked on. Explain it in details like how you identified the root cause of the problem, what process you followed, how planned to solve it, how you analysed the best solutions, how you you implemented it. This is the input, now give brief details about the outcome, the results you achieved. Your answers should sound technical with story telling. Reflect your knowledge about framework, provide tailored solutions which aligns with the needs of interviewer. Your answer should be structured from first step to last. While answering highlight your top skills, flexibility to adaptability. This will show your knowledge and skills and that you are fit.

To showcase problem-solving skills in a job interview, follow these steps: 1. Align with Job Requirements: Review the job description to identify key problem-solving skills needed. 2. Select Relevant Examples: Choose internship projects where you solved problems similar to those in the job you're applying for. 3. Apply the STAR Method: Describe the Situation, Task, Action, and Result to clearly convey your approach and outcome. 4. Highlight Transferable Skills: Emphasize skills and methods that are relevant to the new role. 5. Show Tangible Results: Focus on specific results, like increased efficiency or cost savings, demonstrating their potential benefit to the employer.

Using the STAR method is important when you think about answering typical interview questions. Based on your experiences, you can draft out how you solved problems based on this method prior to the interview. Things such as, "I was working on a project that involved execution of a certain task, but there were multiple delays prior that caused a delay of the completion date. I then spoke to individuals involved to see how we could attempt to get back on track, or limit the delayed completion time. Based on these interactions, we came up with a new plan and end date, and managed to execute well within the new end date."

It is important through any work you have performed, to reflect on inefficiencies and think of ways to make them more efficient. The learnings gained can assist in quicker problem solving in the future, as it may decrease the time to recognise problematic patterns. Additionally, highlighting that sharing these with coworkers will empower your coworkers, and may increase productivity in the new department. This may highlight to employers that you are a person who wants to elevate the team to perform better.

Showcase your problem-solving skills in a job interview by highlighting specific examples from your internship where you identified challenges, implemented solutions, and achieved measurable outcomes. Clearly describe the problem, your approach, and the results, emphasizing your ability to think critically and adapt. Demonstrate how these experiences have prepared you to tackle similar challenges in the new role, showcasing your practical expertise and proactive mindset. #ahmedalaali11
