Job Interview Questions and Answers

Question 57:  Do you anticipate problems or just react to them? 

The correct answer to this question is that you try to anticipate problems rather than react to them You should then give a brief outline of a time when you caught a problem and resolved it before it did damage to the company. 

Good answer:  "I always try to anticipate problems and resolve them before they occur. For example, at Acme I knew that there were bugs in the system that would eventually surface.  I was able to catch numerous problems with the network before they occurred by running tests on the system to locate these bus.  I was able to locate and fix these errors with the network design that had they gone undiscovered would have resulted in a significant period of system downtime.  By anticipating this problem and fixing it, I was able to reduce network downtime to almost zero."
