Community Answers

Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

With this question, your interviewer is looking to gauge your adaptability to change and your ability to be adaptive in the workplace at Google. Because Google operates in an ever-changing online environment and always doing what is necessary to stay at the top of their game in their market, all staff members need to be able to take on changes with ease. You need to come to your interview prepared to show your interviewer that you can embrace change. If possible, provide an example of a time when you adapted and made last-minute changes in your work.

"I'm probably in the minority on this, but I absolutely thrive in a continuously changing work environment and have the ability to do so with ease because of my desire to always be learning and growing on the job. Being adaptive starts with a positive attitude and a desire to improve and I would gladly bring both of these traits to work at Google."
