Tell us about a time when you had to adapt to significant change. How did you cope?

"During my fall internship at a mid-sized CPA firm, a restructuring occurred in the audit department, and I received new management part-way through my term. I also needed to hand off some of the accounts I had been helping to nurture. At first, I found the change frustrating because I could not see my work to completion and had just started getting comfortable with the role and expectations. Rather than react out of frustration, I took the time to think about the positive outcome of the change. The positive factors included meeting a new team, being introduced to more leaders in the firm, and getting to know a larger number of client accounts. Once I was able to see the bigger picture and look at the overall benefits, I adjusted to my new situation quickly."
