"Around the holidays, retail can be hectic. I've experienced being on a team that was extremely short-staffed during our busiest weeks and that was a challenge. Some days, people wouldn't show up for their shifts, or corporate would send a last-minute email and we would have to work together as a team to update floor displays quickly before the store opened. I understand the need to be adaptable and change direction quickly to meet business needs. I thrive in a fast-paced environment, and I have no problem with frequent changes."

"In my current role, there is a lot of turnover when it comes to our management team. I have had to adapt to four new managers in the past three years. Each manager has their own leadership style and approach to managing, so it has been a challenge with the team heading in one direction and then the next manager taking things in another direction. Anytime there is a change like this, I welcome the new manager and come with a positive attitude and open mind. I try to offer feedback and input that will help them as they onboard and I'm always happy to answer questions they may have about our processes or our team. I understand that no situation is perfect and I try to be as flexible and agile as I can when adapting to change in the workplace."

Three years ago, I moved to a new country. I had to adapt to the culture and clothing norms. I had to adapt to their driving attitude. I had to adapt to longer working hours (45 hours). I did well as I have been traveling most of my life, and I fully believe I made the right decision to move.

"Three years ago I moved to the UAE, which is such a different country than the Netherlands. I had to adapt to the culture; not wearing any shorts, sleeveless tops, etc. I had to adapt to their driving attitude and longer working hours (45 hours). I did well as I have been traveling most of my life."
