Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

The ability to problem solve and think outside the box in changing situations is a valuable skill. Gary Morgan, the CEO of dnata's UK operations says, it's not been a matter of "tearing up the plan and starting again," but finessing it, because "there aren't that many ways to turn an aircraft around or process a piece of cargo. The only differentiator is in attitude and delivery," he says. "That's how you set yourself apart." Talk to the interviewer about how resourceful you are, your ability to adapt, and how you navigate difficult terrain with emotional maturity and objectivity.

"I feel that it is a vital approach to create alternative scenarios in all situations. One cannot guess what will happen in the end, so it is great to be prepared for all possible outcomes."

Kimberly Hallman

Kimberly is a freelance writer and editor with a decade of experience in the education field, including her time as a pre-kindergarten teacher.

"I try to always create 'what-ifs' because I know plans change and fail. Plan B is always ready to go."

Kevin Downey

"There are always unplanned contingencies. You can't plan for or anticipate each one. All you can do is plan for contingency, whatever it may be. So I try to allot for that when managing my time or incorporating time management into my project management. Pad the job."
