In its pursuit of industry dominance, Boeing prides itself on innovation. With this commitment to innovation comes the natural requirement for every Boeing team member to be adaptive in their day-to-day work. Your interviewer wants to hear about a past work environment where being adaptable and open to change suited you well.

To address this question, 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. Emphasize that you are flexible and adaptable! The interviewer wants to hear 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. Make sure your interviewer sees that you're so calm and collected that nothing phases you!

"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, and we were 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."
