SAMPLE ANSWER

‘Mrs. Smith, a regular guest in our hotel had just checked in together with her niece and twin babies. We were not informed that the babies would need sleeping cots, so the arrangements were not made. We only had one cot available. I talked to our manager and explained the situation. We ordered a new cot that was delivered in the same day, so I made sure that the room was arranged, together with complimentary toys and blankets and the details of the baby sitter. Both Mrs. Smith and her niece were very grateful, and also my manager praised my eﬀ orts.’

SAMPLE ANSWER

'Every year our shop was going through an audit to establish compliance with the company's standards of merchandising. There were 4 people in our department at that time. We started preparing for the audit and arranging all the products as per the set standard, but it was getting already too late and my colleagues who finished their shift went home. When my shift was over, not everything was in order for the next day. I asked the floor manager for couple of more hours to make sure that everything was perfect, but he could not approve the overtime allowance. I had to choose if I stay overtime without being paid, or bring my entire department score lower. Of course I stayed until everything was exactly as it should have been. Our audit was a success and I was very proud to have been able to help reaching this.'
