Sample Answer
Situation: In my operations role at a mid-sized services company, we committed to launching a new client onboarding workflow in 3 weeks, but our director mandated it be built in Monday.com, which I’d never used. Task: I had to design and implement a full workflow and reporting dashboard without delaying the launch. Action: I blocked 2 days for focused learning: I completed Monday.com’s core courses, cloned and dissected three public templates, and documented a 10-step build guide. I then built automated status updates, SLA timers, and a simple intake form, and ran a 1-hour training with a pilot team of 8. Result: We launched on schedule, reduced onboarding cycle time by 28% in the first month, cut manual status emails by ~40 per week, and support tickets on "where is my request" dropped by 60%.
