How do you adapt to changing work schedules?
BC Hydro delivers and provides power to over 95% of the population in British Columbia. Knowing this, there will be times when emergencies arise that will require you to work outside of your scheduled hours a week. The interviewer would like to know if you have read the job description and understand the nature of the business. At any time power could go out due to storms and other weather-related catastrophes. A great way to approach answering this question is to focus on how you would be able to accommodate a shifting schedule based on business needs.
"I adapt quite well. I understand the nature of the business and I also understand that things happen in nature that we have no control over. I am willing to go above and beyond my normal scheduled work hours to ensure power is restored or any issues get fixed if there is a situation warranting so."
"I understand that taking care of our customers is one of the #1 priorities at BC Hydro. I am more than willing to put in the hours needed in order to get work done to keep customers satisfied."
