Also, the duration of the answer shouldn’t be more than 90 seconds. So, keep in mind that while narrating the story, you shouldn’t get into too many details; try to keep it short and to the point.
Next thing is practice; you need to be very fluent and very well-versed with this answer. Your choice of words needs to be perfect, as one wrong word can give a different direction to the interview. My suggestion: write this answer and then practice in front of the mirror until you perfect the answer.
Good Luck for the interview season!
