Sample answer
“At a resort spa in Cancun, a guest expressed discomfort with the room temperature during her massage. I quickly arranged for a portable heater and offered her a complimentary herbal tea while she waited. After the session, she thanked me personally and left a glowing review about her experience. This taught me the importance of anticipating guest needs and being proactive.”
