"I was an undergraduate student at the start of the pandemic. In what seemed like the snap of a finger, classes went virtual, and in-person meetings and classes were banned on campus. This required a new focus and way of doing things. My approach was to keep an open mind and change my study habits in short order, and I did so with great success. Looking back, I'm so proud of how I adapted quickly because I saw many other students struggle mightily with this, and some even drop out of school for the time being."

Before your interview with Bayer, think about a time you had to handle sudden changes in your work and come prepared to discuss how you handled it successfully. In the end, you need to assure the interviewer that you can respond quickly and professionally to unexpected situations. As part of their LIFE values, the ability to be flexible at Bayer comes down to innovating, experimenting, and going digital in their work. These are great examples to think about in your past.

"I can think quickly on the job and respond well to sudden change. A few months ago, I was asked to make last-minute changes to a presentation with just 30 minutes' notice before we presented to our client. The changes were significant, but luckily I work well under pressure. The presentation went well, and our clients were delighted. You can be assured that I would join your team at Bayer with the ability to be flexible in my work at all times."
