Tell me about a time when you made a suggestion requesting change in an organization.
In addition to being able to handle change, can you also recognize when change is required and be confident enough to present that to your organization? Talk to the interviewer about a time when you were able to make a suggestion for change in the workplace.
"Last year when I was managing dispatch for my company I noticed a pretty solid opportunity for us to save on overtime hours. I created a presentation and gave it to my manager who took it to upper management. The changes were implemented and I was very proud of the suggestion that I made."
"This year I asked my manager if we could look at some new options for parts vendors. We ended up finding a couple of vendors who were more competitive with their pricing, so we made the switch. I am estimating that the change saves us close to 1000 per week."

Fantastic answer! You've shared specific examples of times where you noticed an opportunity, took the initiative to develop a solution, make the recommendation, and successfully facilitated a change that resulted in a positive outcome.
