strengths at the same time.

You have to describe the project and challenges that you faced. Then you should explain how you were able to overcome
problems and complete the project successfully. You can discuss projects that you had to complete on a short notice or
assignments where you had to learn new skills. If you had very demanding clients, you should describe how you were able
to satisfy their needs.

“Describe the project that you completed on time” or “Tell us about the project that went into overtime” and so on. The key to a good answer is to think about projects you were involved in and your personal and professional qualities that helped you to achieve success.
