Sample answer
“I have spent three seasons picking flowers, primarily roses and peonies. I ensure quality by picking them early in the morning when they are most hydrated and checking each bloom for signs of damage or pests. I also communicate closely with my team to ensure we are all following the same quality standards, leading to a 20% reduction in wastage last season.”
