This question can help the interviewer gain insight into your problem-solving skills and how you use them to overcome challenges. Use examples from previous work experiences that highlight your ability to adapt to new situations, solve problems and make quick decisions.
Example: “As an animator, I have faced many challenges throughout my career. One of the most difficult was creating a realistic and believable character animation in a limited amount of time. To overcome this challenge, I developed a workflow that allowed me to focus on the key elements of the animation first. This enabled me to create a basic version of the animation quickly, which I could then refine and add details as needed.
Another challenge I’ve encountered is staying up-to-date with the latest software and techniques used for 2D animation. To address this, I regularly attend workshops and seminars related to animation and take online courses to stay current. By doing so, I am able to keep my skills sharp and ensure that I am using the best tools available.”
