When answering this question, focus on a specific instance where you had to make a quick and critical decision. Start by setting the scene: describe the situation, the stakes involved, and the pressure you were under. Then, explain the decision you made, the rationale behind it, and the outcome. Highlight any skills or qualities you demonstrated, such as quick thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and calmness under pressure. For example:
"During a particularly foggy morning, I was navigating a large cargo ship through a narrow channel. Visibility was extremely low, and we were approaching a busy port. I had to quickly decide whether to proceed or anchor and wait for the fog to clear. Considering the ship's schedule and the potential risks of anchoring in a busy channel, I decided to proceed with extreme caution, using radar and constant communication with the port authorities. My decision allowed us to reach the port on time without any incidents, demonstrating my ability to make critical decisions under pressure."
