Being a professional in the staffing services and talent management industry requires an immense level of patience. Depending on your role with Adecco, you will likely make a lot of calls to new people every day. You might wait for candidates to respond to you, and wait on client contracts to be signed. You might feel like you're constantly in a rush to make a placement before a competing agency wins the deal. You might speak to hundreds of candidates every month, all with their own unique personalities, levels of commitment, and communication styles. The interviewer wants to know that, despite all of these challenges, you can remain confident, professional, and patient. Rate your level of patience from 1-10 and be prepared to give an example that supports your rating.

"I rate my patience level an 8 out of 10. There will always be candidates, clients, and situations that test my patience, so I do have room to improve. Recently I had a candidate back out of their accepted job offer on the morning of their start date. Rather than lose my patience, I quickly found a temp contractor for my client, and then continued to search for a new permanent candidate. Of course, I will not work with that first candidate again, but that is simply an example of my professional boundaries. Rest assured, should Adecco hire me, I will always maintain a respectful level of patience and understanding."
