How to answer this question
Example of a good response to this question: When I was working at my previous company, I was suddenly tasked with creating a new website for the company due to an emergency. I had never done this before, but I had some basic knowledge from my previous web design classes. I quickly read up on web design and familiarized myself with the company's website, and then I created the new website from scratch. The process was time-consuming and stressful, but I was able to get it done in a timely manner. In the end, the website was a success and my manager was very pleased with the results.
