Interviewer: What would you do if you were given a task and didn’t know how to complete it?

Candidate: If I were given a task and didn’t know how to complete it, I would start by researching the topic to gain a better understanding. This might involve reading documentation, searching for tutorials, or looking at similar examples. If I still needed help, I would reach out to my colleagues or mentor for guidance, ensuring I fully understand the task requirements and any best practices. I would also break the task down into smaller, manageable parts to tackle it step by step. By combining self-learning and seeking help when needed, I can efficiently overcome challenges and complete the task.
