6 . WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE IN YOUR BUSINESS AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM ? THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE HAS BEEN HIRING INDIVIDUALS WHO DON ’ T ALIGN WITH THE FIRM ’ S VALUES , AS THIS DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE TEAM AND MORALE .

8 . HOW DO YOU FACE A CHALLENGE ? PRIMARILY , I TACKLE CHALLENGES STRATEGICALLY . I ' M SOLUTION-ORIENTED AND MY CREATIVITY PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN MY PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH , WHICH IS CRUCIAL FOR SUCCESS IN MY LINE OF WORK . THE GOAL IS ALWAYS TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD .

11 . WHAT DOES YOUR TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE ? MY TYPICAL WORKDAY INVOLVES ATTENDING MEETINGS , NEGOTIATING AGREEMENTS , REVIEWING CLIENT DOCUMENTS WITH MY TEAM , NETWORKING , HANDLING ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS , AND CONDUCTING NON-LEGAL RESEARCH .
