QUESTION 16 OF 27

When have you had to adapt to change?

Being able to adapt to change in the workplace is a very important skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about a time when you have had to adjust to changes on the job. How did you handle the change? Was it a positive reaction?

"In my current role there is a lot of turnover when it comes to our management team. I have had to adapt to 3 new managers in the past 4 years. It is not the ideal situation but I am able to adjust for the good of the team."

"Last year our company was sold to a competitor and a lot of our management team changed hands. It was a lot of change to handle in a short time."

Anonymous Answer

In my last role, I had to adapt to 3 new managers within one year. It was a lot of change in such a short period of time but I adapted and learned from the different ways I was taught.

Amanda's Feedback

Being adaptable is an important quality in many settings, but especially in the workplace. You've provided a great example that you can build on to better highlight your ability to adjust. Consider talking about the specific changes you had to make with each new manager, strategies or tools you used to adjust or learn quickly, and how you encouraged or helped others to adjust as well.
