QUESTION 15 OF 35

When have you had to think quickly in response to sudden change?

Sudden changes will occur in the workplace from time to time. As USAA works to ensure the financial security of their members and clients, change occurs quickly with their diverse set of products and services. Their vision, "Many faces, one Vision" includes serving members the best way possible, and that means being flexible to changing priorities and needs. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of responding quickly, and professionally, to sudden changes in the workplace.

"I am able to think quickly on the job and I do respond well to sudden change. I know that USAA requires each role to be flexible in response to change. Last week I was asked to tweak a presentation with just 30 minutes notice. The changes were significant but luckily, I work well under pressure. The presentation went well and our clients were very happy."

"The insurance industry can be quite volatile so I think quickly in response to change, multiple times per day. When I do need to pivot quickly, I do so in a safe and calculated way that can benefit all parties. I know that priorities change quickly at USAA in this risk analyst role, so I pride myself on being ready at a moments notice."
