QUESTION 25 OF 30

Do you prefer change or the status quo?

Your interviewer is not only curious whether you prefer a regimented and predictable workday over a fast-paced and quickly evolving workscape. They are also curious about how adaptable you are to change. Someone who grows insecure and agitated when a workplace evolves might not be considered as good a fit for the company as someone who supports the company's vision and quickly adapts to whatever changes come. How you answer should inform them of whether Heineken is the right fit for you.

"Well, I am happy with either, as long as I am given the tools to adequately do my job, support the vision of the company, or aid in the goals of my team. I prefer transparency and full disclosure. But if that is lacking, you'll find that I ask a lot of questions. So, wherever you need me, and whatever you need me to do, I'll be there, working on a monotonous and predictable project for months, or leaping into the fire. Just say jump, and I'll ask, how high?"

Heineken advertsies that they embrace the quickly evolving and often changing landscape of their company "with portfolio expansion, new technologies, new business models and with more sustainable offers. We embrace change, as we have always done. The world is changing. And Heineken needs to make sure we maximise the opportunities offered by change."
