AI Evaluation:

Your answer addresses the question by highlighting a situation where you faced a difficult decision with limited information. However, the response lacks clarity, structure, and specific details, which makes it harder for the interviewer to fully understand your experience and the actions you took. Here are the key points of evaluation:

1. Clarity and Communication: The answer comes across as fragmented and slightly confusing. You should aim for clearer articulation of your thoughts to ensure your message is understood.

2. Structure: A more structured approach would involve the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). This would help you outline the context, what you needed to accomplish, the specific actions you took, and the outcome of those actions more systematically.

3. Details: You mention seeking help and gathering resources, which is good. However, providing specific examples of what the decision was, the challenges faced, and how the information helped would enhance your response. Quantifying the outcome (e.g., project success metrics or timeline) would also strengthen your case.

4. Outcome Reflection: You state that the outcome met expectations but could elaborate on what that meant in terms of project success or any learnings from the experience.

To improve your answer, consider revising it with these elements in mind:

"I was tasked with a project development decision where I had limited information on available resources. The situation created discomfort, as I knew the project's success depended on accessing the right data. I approached my seniors for guidance and used their insights to identify alternative data sources online. This collaborative approach enabled me to gather the necessary information more efficiently. Ultimately, we completed the project ahead of schedule and exceeded our expectations, aligning with the university's goals."

Rating: 2/5. There is potential in your answer, but it needs refinement in clarity, structure, and detail to fully meet the question's requirements.
