Case Scenario:
I have a phone interview for a Senior Accountant position.
I am trying to come up with a response for Explain a difficult or challenging work situation and how did you handle it in case I am ask this question.
One of the situation that comes to mind is that my company went through a period of transition where some employees were terminated from my department and employees were transferred from other departments to my department. This was difficult because I first had to take on other responsibilities while training the transferred employees on other functions since I was the only employee that knew most of the processes. In addition, we had a new manager started who I reported to, so I also had to bring her up to speed on the group. I didn't mind training the employees and staying late if needed. I was recognized for my efforts and given an award.
How can I explain the above situation in a more clear concise manner?
Also is taking on too much responsibility a good example of a weakness?
