<v ->So, I think problem-solving is essential, because,</v>

2
00:00:03.158 --> 00:00:07.085 line:15% 
simply put, that's what they pay the managers to do.

3
00:00:07.085 --> 00:00:09.964 line:15% 
The way that you become a higher-up individual

4
00:00:09.964 --> 00:00:11.788 line:15% 
within an organization is they need to see that

5
00:00:11.788 --> 00:00:13.880 line:15% 
you're someone where you can solve problems.

6
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.685 line:15% 
If there is an issue that comes up, they can say,

7
00:00:16.685 --> 00:00:18.915
"Can you handle this," and if you say yes

8
00:00:18.915 --> 00:00:20.524
and you give them a timeline,

9
00:00:20.524 --> 00:00:22.360
they know, check with you at the end of the timeline.

10
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:24.685 line:15% 
There doesn't need to be any more management than that.

11
00:00:24.685 --> 00:00:27.811 line:15% 
So I think that's why problem-solving is important.

12
00:00:27.811 --> 00:00:30.249 line:15% 
As far as articulating it within the interview,

13
00:00:30.249 --> 00:00:34.109 line:15% 
I think that a lot of the same strategies

14
00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:36.277
that apply to most interviews definitely work for that.

15
00:00:36.277 --> 00:00:38.402
I think the STAR technique is one that I've heard,

16
00:00:38.402 --> 00:00:39.937
where you're able to say, well,

17
00:00:39.937 --> 00:00:42.243
this is what we started with, this was my methodology,

18
00:00:42.243 --> 00:00:44.717
and this is the solution I came up with.

19
00:00:44.717 --> 00:00:47.436
One thing that I would really emphasize is that

20
00:00:47.436 --> 00:00:50.563
you don't necessarily need to come to the right answer.

21
00:00:50.563 --> 00:00:51.640
It's more important to show

22
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.528 line:15% 
that you have the right thought process.

23
00:00:53.528 --> 00:00:57.165 line:15% 
Because you can always correct and steer someone

24
00:00:57.165 --> 00:00:59.287 line:15% 
towards the right direction.

25
00:00:59.287 --> 00:01:01.336 line:15% 
But if they're not taking a good approach,

26
00:01:01.336 --> 00:01:03.360 line:15% 
or if they're someone where they're kind of just

27
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.005
taking a bunch of guesses and kind of

28
00:01:05.005 --> 00:01:07.960
throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.

29
00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:09.848
If they're not willing to improve on that process,

30
00:01:09.848 --> 00:01:13.931
then they're going to have difficulties later on.
