Sample answer
“At my previous job with a local meat processing company, I noticed that some packages were leaking during transport. I investigated and found that the sealing machine was malfunctioning. I quickly reported it to my supervisor, and together we recalibrated the machine and conducted additional training for the team on proper sealing techniques. As a result, we reduced packaging defects by 30% over the next quarter.”
