While the job you are being considered for has a specific job description and duties, the company must find staff who are always willing to be flexible on the job. CONMED feels confident that they have set the standard for clinical excellence and they want to continue raising that bar. To be able to do this, you may have to be flexible in your work. In your answer here, you'll want to talk about a time you were either asked or volunteered to do some things that were outside of your normal job duties to provide a great service or result. As you do this, make sure your interviewer walks away knowing that you will always be flexible as part of their team.

"Yes, I certainly have and was happy to do so. In my current sourcing role, my role is strictly office-based. Last year we made a huge effort to source more cost-efficient raw materials. As I was contacting potential suppliers and negotiating prices, I felt it was important to travel to see the facilities and meet the key players from the top two companies we were going to choose from. I approached my manager, and she agreed that traveling to meet with people was a great idea. I was provided a budget to work under and completed the final meetings within a month. We went with a great new supplier, with whom we now reap great materials and lower costs. I love the fact that this role with CONMED involves 20-30% travel and am excited about that aspect of the job."
