Being able to problem solve and think outside the box when it comes to changing situations is a very valuable skill set. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to create a variety of potential scenarios.

"I feel that it is very important to create alternative scenarios in all situations. One cannot guess what will happen in the end, so it is smart to be prepared for all possible outcomes. I try always to create 'what-ifs' because I know that plans change and fail. Plan B - or C or D - is always ready to go."

I have lived away from home since I was 18, and being far from my family has taught me to always have a contingency plan. I may have several backup plans since it is always better to be prepared.

Rachelle's Feedback
Contingency plans are an important factor to success in life and work - solid point! If you have a specific example of a time when you leaned on plan B, C, or even D, this question offers a good opportunity to tell a brief story.
