Describe a time when you had to quickly adapt to a change at work. How will you be adaptable to change here at Boeing?
How to Answer
Just as a friendly reminder, when you're answering these questions, always give a specific example that explains the situation, your actions, and the results. Boeing is notoriously picky about which candidates they hire, and you can stay ahead of the competition if you prepare your answers carefully.
With this question, it is important that you understand that Boeing is continuously adapting and innovating in everything that they do. Because of this fact, all staff at Boeing need to be flexible and adaptable in their work at all times. To address this question, you can use a simple everyday example from your prior work. This can include things like adjusting to the ebb and flow of a hectic customer service environment when company demands change throughout each season. Any way you answer, make sure to reiterate that you are flexible and adaptable! The interviewer wants to hear about how you handled the stress of a promotion or additional responsibilities being added to your job description. These types of examples will demonstrate that you can efficiently adjust to a changing work environment. In the end, make sure your interviewer sees that you're so calm and collected that nothing phases you!
Ryan's Answer
"Last year our company was sold to a competitor, and a lot of our management team changed hands. It was a great deal of change to handle in a short time, especially being unsure of who to report to ahead of others. I am resilient, though, and have made the big changes work by keeping my head down and delivering great work, no matter who it goes to in the end. In this particular situation, communication was key and I never hesitate to overcommunicate to colleagues and leadership."

"Most of my 20 years exp has been as a contractor, have to dip in and out of companies within the space of a few months and quickly assess a way forward, affect change - produce results. Also, stress often has to adapt to late design changes, typically quite bad at responding to, however it is getting better with software and dynamic analysis, where inputs and geometric changes can be handled fairly easily, but it has to be planned that way and may need investment to expect those changes further down the line."
Kristine's Feedback for the Answer Above
Good! Your response will convince the interviewer that adapting to changes has been the norm in your career. When the interviewer starts any question with the phrase, "Describe a time when you..." this is a signal that it's a behavioral interview question and you should respond with a story about a specific situation using the STAR method, with S = Situation, T = Task, A = Action, and R = Result. Try building upon your response by talking about a situation where there were late design changes and what that meant for you, and then describe your next actions and then the outcome or result.

"In a previous job, I was working for a company that had six different funding provisions. I originally started in the engineering division covering Marine, Motor, and engineering. That was relatively simple as the basis for all three were along the same generic lines. I was then promoted to look at all six provisions, which included the Service section and Business section. I had three weeks to get up to speed on all the different frameworks available and the funding implications."
Rachelle's Feedback for the Answer Above
This is a short amount of time to get up to speed on these frameworks! This answers shows a great capability to handle a lot of new information at one time. Try to expand your answer a bit by speaking further on the final outcome.

It was a significant change, and at first, I was concerned about being able to adapt to a fast-paced environment. What I learned was the new equipment was better and provided me to work more efficiently. After that experience, I embrace change and find ways I can use it to improve myself."

When have you shown great integrity at work?
How to Answer
As an organization, Boeing strives to hold itself to the highest ethical standards in the way they handle their business and the way they treat others. Your interviewer is looking to hire an individual that shows this same integrity in their work. If asked this question during your interview, your interviewer ideally wants to hear you talk about a time where you feel you have shown your highest levels of integrity on the job. Prior to your interview, think of a time where you displayed integrity through honesty and high moral standards and, as you answer, paint a picture for your interviewer that shows why this approach was important.
Ryan's Answer
"Last year, I was working with two other colleagues on an important project for a client. As the deadline drew near and being in crunch time, our manager had to be out of the office for a short medical leave. Right away upon her departure, my two colleagues turned a blind shoulder to the project and pretty much left me alone to finish it. While taking that same approach would have been an easy decision for a lot of people, I decided to buckle down and handle the rest of the project and deliver the results to our client. In the end, the client was very satisfied. Upon our manager's return to the office, she was impressed as well. At that time, I felt it was my duty to inform her of the situation of me handling the entire completion of the project."

"When I was working as a substitute teacher, there was a time when I arrived, and no plans were left. I had experience assisting with a kindergarten class before and could have made up educational activities to keep them busy for the day; no one would have faulted me. However, I knew this school's teachers of the same grade would have weekly meetings to coordinate, so instead, I sought out the other kindergarten teachers to see what their lessons were. I looked at what they were working on and gathered the supplies I would need for the day. When there was something I couldn't find, I checked with one of the other teachers if I could borrow the materials when they were not using them for their class and shifted the schedule around. As a result, the students continued learning topics they were meant to even if the lesson may have been a day off since the coworkers may pace their classes somewhat differently."
Amanda's Feedback for the Answer Above
Well done! Integrity and honesty are foundational characteristics that are necessary to help teams work well together. The example you've chosen shows that you take pride in your work and want to do the right thing, even when it may be inconvenient or more difficult than taking another path. Consider taking your response a bit farther by stating that you would apply that same level of integrity to your work at Boeing by adapting to new situations, making actionable plans where possible, and striving to continuously improve each day.

Tell me about your experience working in this field. How can this experience apply to this role at Boeing?
How to Answer
Open-ended questions like this can feel a little overwhelming at first. Learning how to talk about yourself is a skill that will help you express yourself clearly and concisely. Boeing wants to ideally hear about your accomplishments, not just your qualifications for the job that you are interviewing for. Start by writing out a summary of your experience followed by a few pivotal moments where you made an impact. Highlight your expertise, skills, or any training you have received. You can also include any continuing education, from workshops to higher education, that you have pursued to further your career and prepare you for this role.
Ryan's Answer
"As you can see from my resume, I have worked in this field for the past eleven years, after graduating with my bachelor's degree. I have been with my current organization for the past six years and I am confident that my current position has fully prepared me for success at Boeing. What you may not know from just looking at my resume is that I have spent a lot of time training our new hires to my department. In taking the lead on this for the past several years, I have been formally recognized by my organization for a job well done in mentoring our new hires. I look forward to bringing this experience to work for Boeing!"

Tell us about a time you successfully navigated conflict in the workplace.
How to Answer
Boeing places a heavy emphasis on teamwork and building leaders, so they will likely ask you a series of situational and behavioral questions where you will have a chance to display your initiative, collaboration, and leadership. Demonstrating your ability to analyze a situation and react appropriately, efficiently, and even empathetically will help set you above the rest. With this question, your interviewer is wanting to hear about your ability to handle conflict in the work place in a healthy manner. Think of a time you've encountered conflict at work, including the situation, and explain the steps you took to resolve it. Use an example that demonstrates your leadership and compassion when a conflict arises without disclosing identifiable information of others.
Ryan's Answer
"In a previous position, I worked on a team that had challenges with power dynamics, interpersonal conflict, and trust. Unfortunately, the mid-to-upper managers appeared unaware of the tension and damage that was being caused to the overall team. I had only been in my position for a few months, and I could see how significantly the long-term effects of these dynamics impacted the productivity and morale of my colleagues. So, I set up an informal meeting with my coworkers to discuss the conflict within the team and try to glean some concrete issues contributing to the tension. With consent, I took those concerns to my supervisor in our next one-on-one meeting to seek solutions and mediation. She was grateful to have something tangible to work with and take to management, and from there she was able to set up a team meeting to bring these issues to light and set some whole-team expectations to prevent tensions from rising again in the future. In less than two weeks, productivity, morale, and collaborative work had already increased significantly."

"In a past role, I was involved in a situation where two of my subordinates were close to physical contact regarding an issue over a forklift truck. I immediately called both subordinates to a meeting, saying that I wanted to resolve the issue right away. I asked both parties to state from their perspective what the problem was. It turned out that the issue was one of poor communication. I got a commitment from both parties that their communication with each other needs to be improved because I did not want a further meeting where I would be forced to take action. This resolved the issue, and there was no further conflict between the two individuals concerned."
Lauren's Feedback for the Answer Above
This is a good example. I would categorize the example on a broader scale, as to present it as a workplace characteristic that you can use if future issues arise at their company.
"My key approach to conflict in the workplace is healthy and open communication. I have de-escalated heated situation between subordinates by removing both parties into a neutral meeting area, discussing my concerns and the subordinates', and reaching a more productive resolution. I prefer transparency in the workplace, so that issues can be resolved completely. They may be difficult conversations, but they are essential in clearly defining acceptable and professional behavior."

"The company I worked for was getting bought out by a larger company, and a lot of people were worried about their positions and if they would have a job after the buyout. We all had a meeting together and expressed our concerns outright to one another. The head of the company reiterated he was not concerned about anyone losing their job and I spoke up and expressed that if he were not concerned, then I would not be concerned. If he weren't jumping ship, I would not. I was informed a few days later that because of me speaking up and my age (youngest in the office) I provided a boost to employees who were not so willing, and we did not lose an employee."

"The situation was about two subordinates who were arguing at work and almost came to a physical altercation. The task was to find out why this happened. The action I did was sat down with both individuals in my office explaining to them that this kind of behavior is not professional and will not be tolerated. I'd explained to them if they have any problems with one another they need to let me know and I'll handle the issue. The result was both subordinates kept their relationship professional and had no disruption with work."

At Boeing, how would you prioritize multiple projects when they all seem equally important?
How to Answer
Prioritizing is a skill that requires practice. There are many instances where you will be handling multiple tasks and projects at one time in this role. In turn, your interviewer will want to hear that you will bring the ability to prioritize and stay organized in your work, no matter how hectic things will get. As you answer this question, talk about your ability to prioritize work by giving an example of a time that you've had to do this in your past. As you discuss this, talk about the tools that you used to stay organized and on track with all that you were assigned at a given time. Having a tried and true system in place will certainly impress your interviewer and show that you are ready to handle all that is thrown at you with Boeing.
Ryan's Answer
"In my current position, I am juggling many priorities and deadlines all of the time and I've really honed a great system to keep myself organized and prioritized in what I am working on at any given moment. First and foremost, I ensure that my calendar is up to date with my deadlines, meetings, and time set aside for project work. I also keep a running written list of all of my tasks. I know this seems kind of old school, but I find it works out well for me to work off of a written list. Every morning, I reprioritize my list of to-do's based on the highest priority items. As well, I try to leave windows of time open each day to work on the high needs, quick-fix problems that surface on a daily basis in my work."

Amanda's Feedback for the Answer Above
It sounds like you're used to managing multiple priorities simultaneously. You can consider strengthening this answer by explaining your rationale for completing projects in a particular order? Do you complete the most urgent first or those that are required for the completion of another later? Do you complete those that may include information or pieces needed by a team member? In addition, what tools or strategies do you rely on to ensure all things are completed timely such as a shared calendar, reminder app, time blocking, etc.? Adding this information helps the interviewer understand how you work to support your team and achieve overarching goals.

Tell us about a time when you faced an unexpected challenge at work. How did you handle it?
How to Answer
This situation-based question is commonly asked during interviews with companies like Boeing. Unexpected circumstances can arise at any time and be minor or major, so the interviewer needs to understand how well you remain cool, collected, and solution-oriented. Remember, your answer to this question should focus primarily on your response to the challenge and less on the challenge itself. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate your adaptability in the face of adversity and your ability to stay focused when things go unexpectedly on the job.
Ryan's Answer
"My current company has increasingly leaned on Zoom meetings and online platforms to collaborate virtually since the start of the pandemic. For the most part, it has been a great experience and an easy transition from our already tech-savvy approach before. One day, I was scheduled to present a new initiative during a team meeting, and my computer crashed 20 minutes prior to the meeting. I realized that I didn't have time to call our IT department and wait on hold, so I immediately began looking for another solution. Luckily, I had the presentation saved on SharePoint, so I emailed it out to the team from my phone and advised everyone to open the link while I was presenting. I joined the meeting through my phone, explained the slight hiccup to the team, and had them follow along from their own computers. Despite the inconvenience, my solution felt seamless."

What are some ways you have worked to improve yourself over the past year?
How to Answer
When an interviewer asks about self-improvement, it shows they seek to hire someone who takes the initiative and wants to grow. Because Boeing is always striving to be innovative and groundbreaking in all that they do, they expect their staff to be continually improving and learning to keep their innovative atmosphere progressing forward. Think about a goal you are actively working towards and explain what you are doing to help you reach that goal. If your goal is ongoing, like being a good leader, tell how your actions will help you in the short and long term. As you answer, be sure to stay relevant to the field in which you are applying. Focus less on any weakness you want to improve, and more so on the steps or actions, you are taking to improve.
Ryan's Answer

What steps would you take to make an important decision on the job here at Boeing?
How to Answer
As an employee at Boeing, your decisions on the job will impact others. It's important to express to the interview team at Boeing that you recognize the weight of your responsibility, whether you are managing a team or leading by example in this role that you are interviewing for. Prior to your interview, write out the steps that you consider when making an important decision on the job. Prepare yourself by thinking of examples of when you were faced with a difficult decision and explain the thought process you used in walking through the decision.
Ryan's Answer
"Whenever I am making an important decision, I question how the company will benefit and how it will impact customers. I also check to make sure the decision is in line with the company's values. It's important to consider how the decision will impact the company. I take steps to address these factors before I decide what needs to happen next."

"If an important decision needs to be done, I begin thinking about the consequences of my decisions, and how would this affect the company. Secondly, I don't go by only my own decisions, I always ask the opinion of others in my team and if they are happy to go with what I have in mind. And finally, I think about if our production capability could sustain the production once the final decision is executed to avoid stopping halfway through the process. Whenever I do team leading in my current workplace, I have to make sure that my goal is to make our clients highly satisfied by making sure the projects given to us are efficiently done. To make this possible, I've asked my line manager if I could request more staff members to perform the tasks with me before I pull them out of their designated areas without it being compromised. Since I already have enough people with me, I delegated the tasks to each of my members and began the project. We have successfully completed the jobs without any further delays and our clients were happy about it."

Lauren's Feedback for the Answer Above
Great example; you sought several avenues to arrive at a final decision, which demonstrates tact. I would caution the way you explain "[consulting] with those who would be affected." You don't want this to be viewed as office gossip or discussing sensitive HR issues with the person's coworkers versus discussing the situation with other team leaders and managers (which is acceptable).
"There was a time when I need to weigh the pros and cons of terminating an employee. Time and sensitivity was needed to review the implications and arrive at the most logical decision.

Tell me about a time when someone gave you difficult feedback on your work. How did you handle it?
How to Answer
It can be hard to know how to respond when a leader or colleague tells you about ways you need to improve in your work, especially when you are working so hard already! Don't let this question catch you off guard during your interview with Boeing! You want the interviewer at Boeing to know that you take feedback constructively and that you don't take this sort of thing personally. As you think about a time where you handled negative feedback on the job, try to pick a situation where you can discuss how you accepted the input and demonstrate what you did to implement the information to improve.

How would you deal with a difficult client at Boeing?
How to Answer
You want to show the interviewer that you work well with every person, even though you recognize there are some folks out there who are quite difficult to please. Share an example that gives some context about the situation and what you did to make the client happy. Remember, there's no need to be negative or share any negative interactions you had with the client. Focus on how you responded graciously and courteously to client complaints. Last, try to remember that Boeing values the trust and preference of their stakeholders and they do this through a competent and respectful approach with everyone.

How would you handle a situation here at Boeing in which you were presented with new material or a new task that you didn't understand?
How to Answer
Most employers encourage and even expect learning on the job, and Boeing is no exception. This question provides you an opportunity to demonstrate how open you are to learning, developing, and even being coached by others. Professional development and growing leaders are both highly valued aspects of employment at Boeing, so your interviewer will need to see that potential and desire in you. Use this question to display to the interviewers how you identify where your gaps of understanding are as well as the initiative you take to seek solutions or support. As you answer, be sure to reiterate that you use your solid communication skills in seeking understanding.
Ryan's Answer
"I welcome the unfamiliar at work because it means that I have an opportunity to learn and grow as a professional. When I first receive something like this, I often start by asking clarifying questions about the material or project to better gauge my level of understanding. After that, I might simply research on my own depending on the circumstances and my level of non-understanding. However, if it is particularly complex, or if my understanding is minimal, then I would seek guidance from a supervisor or colleague. I have so much to learn from others at work, and I always appreciate the opportunity to develop in that way as a professional when I'm able. I would look forward to bringing this same attitude to work at Boeing."

Boeing Co. is the industry giant in commercial flight, defense, and space and they are a very competitive company that only hires those who take their job seriously. One way you can show you're serious about working there is through doing your research before the interview. Boeing is America's most significant manufacturing exporter. Take some time to learn more about their mission, values, and their culture. You can find out what employees are saying about them by searching the Boeing Co. website, glassdoor.com, and searching for articles online. These efforts matter to Boeing, so be sure to explain that they matter to you, too!

Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team to solve a problem. What role did you play on the team in this situation?
How to Answer
Problem-solving with any team can be challenging! Because the global efforts at Boeing to be an innovative and creative leader in the aerospace and defense industries require the ultimate in teamwork, your interviewer wants to hear that you can work as part of a larger team to solve problems on the job. Give an example that shows you are a leader and that you are willing to ask for help when you need it. Humble leaders are hard to come by these days. Present the situation and explain what you and your team did to create optimal results. As well, be sure to talk a bit about the role that you took on as part of that team in solving the problem so your interviewer gets a sense of the type of team player you will be at Boeing.

My colleagues helped me back up my research with more facts and information to provide for my client. Together we were able to gather additional information and make a great recommendation to assist my client."

"I was tasked with updating a green sheet for our shop to minimize the work not related to the shop that is used in the field, such as working from heights, scaffolding, etc. It was my first time doing this, so I used my shop colleagues as resources and asked for their opinions to make the green sheet more user-friendly for them. I did my walkthrough of the shop and used my judgment on what was necessary to be on the green sheet. Then, after I sat down with my shop colleagues, I took their opinions as well. They had a few more things they believed were not necessary for the shop green sheet, and I finished it up and sent to my boss for implementation. He felt that it was very well done and we put it into process. The shop employees are much happier with less paperwork, and I had a better understanding of what we did in the shop.

"At my last company, the attitude of my team towards the concept of continuous improvement was poor. In a department of 40 people, only four people were actively involved in any improvement work. There had been attempts to introduce the 5S method of continuous improvement, but they failed. My task was to increase involvement in continuous improvement from 10% to 100%. The action that I took was to work with an influential team member on a novel way of introducing 5S. This team member and I then presented the technique to the other team members in a humorous and fun way, and we managed to persuade the other members of the team that it was not just about housekeeping. By doing this, we were able to increase participation from 10% to 100%, which resulted in significant time savings and improved workplace organization."

This is a fantastic response! The example you gave (again) provided measurable results and the method with which you were able to be successful. I reworded your answer a bit for clarity and flow. Be prepared to give your interviewer specific examples of the fun and humorous techniques that aided your efforts with the staff. This example demonstrates your ability to lead and think outside the box to get the job done. Again, great example!
"At my most recent employer, I was tasked with boosting quality improvement department-wide. At the time, the vast majority of the staff group (40 individuals) struggled with continuous improvement. I knew a modality such as would be effective, but it was a matter of delivering the information in a way that aided the staff's daily work rather than viewed as an added task. I partnered with an influential team member to present the 5S technique in a fun and humorous way, thus gaining the attention and buy-in of the group. As a result, continuous improvement increased from 10% to 100%. Leadership and out-of-box thinking created the desired outcome."

Tell me about a time when you reached a goal within a tight deadline. What did you learn from this situation that you can bring to our team at Boeing?
How to Answer
Imagine yourself racing to complete a project or task at Boeing with only six hours left to reach the finish line. Whether you have experienced this type of pressure in school or the workplace, you understand the intensity. Boeing wants to hear that you are determined and motivated to get these projects done. They also want to hear how you navigated the obstacles along the way. Prior to your interview, be sure to think about the steps you took to make a short notice project happen in your past, and be sure to share the results as you answer this question!

"Last year, my current director came to me with a short notice design that a customer was requesting and they were wanting this within two weeks. Knowing that a typical new design from scratch could take four to six weeks, I immediately started by shifting around my current workload to accommodate and make this project a top priority. The key to success in this design was being organized with my full workload and having the ability to prioritize my work. I ended up delivering the finished design in just 8 working days and my director and the customer were thoroughly impressed. If hired at Boeing, I would bring this same ability to meet tight deadlines while staying focused on my entire workload."

Great example. There is a way to highlight your leadership and problem-solving skills that were required for this scenario. I want to create a consistent flow of highlighting your strongest skills. Reiteration of Leadership and problem-solving will help you stand out and be more memorable.
"There was a time when I had to think quickly to resolve a change in a target deadline. A supplier was making a large delivery in half the time we anticipated. Thankfully, I was able to increase manpower to clear the delivery location. When leading a team, it is important to rely on clear communication and problem-solving. So using the team I started with, we worked together to get every new member of our team up to speed. I performed periodic check-ins to make sure they have everything they needed to be self guided and meet our deadlines. With the handful of employees I managed to allocate, we finished ahead of the quickly approaching deadlines, expedited shipping, and got it to them early. There were a lot of high-fives that day."
