98. Tell me a time you acted beyond your responsibility.

Example answer:

One time I acted beyond my responsibility was during my previous job as a Front-End Developer at a startup. The company was going through a funding round and we needed to showcase a prototype to the investors in a week. However, the UX Designer for the project had to leave on an emergency level.

Situation - As the project deadline was approaching fast, it was important to keep things moving and design was our missing piece.

Obstacle - To complete the design task on time, I had to take on the task of designing the prototype, ensuring completeness.

Action - Despite not being a UX designer, I studied the designs thoroughly to understand the purpose and overall design decisions. I utilized my basic design skills and the feedback of the team to create designs for the prototype within the remaining deadline.

Result - The prototype was ready on time for the presentation to the investors. The team and the CEO were pleased with my work as it was appreciated along with other contributions, which enabled the company to secure funding.

This experience enhanced my problem-solving ability and proved my teamwork spirit.
