As I've worked closely with hiring managers across many industries, one common quality that hiring managers seek in a new hire is the ability to be flexible in their work. This is especially true at an airline like Air Canada, where technological advancements and changing day-to-day activities make it necessary for staff to be open and pliable to changes in their work. Your interviewer needs to be assured that you will be able to face change with a positive attitude and a smile.

"In my current job, our schedule is changed regularly, and that can happen on short notice. I have adapted very well to these frequent, sudden changes through my ability to be open and communicate, where others get frustrated easily."

"The airline industry is full of sudden changes, most frequently when flight times are changed. This affects everyone's schedule when it happens. I can roll with the punches and understand that I need to respond positively and swiftly when sudden changes are made here at Air Canada."

Think back to a time when you were asked to change your priorities on a moment's notice and discuss how you reacted to this shift in priorities in a positive manner. Assure the interviewer that you can respond professionally to sudden changes.

"For the last two years working as an administrative assistant, executive leadership I've supported has been a bit of a revolving door, and I've had to adapt to the support I provide to the leaders I work with. I've learned not to get stuck in my ways and to be open to seeing new ways of doing things. I think these are great aspects I can bring to work at Air Canada."
