"The biggest change that I have faced in my career so far would be when my previous company went through a major merger. We had to adapt to new processes and management which was quite challenging. In the end, it worked out well for the company, in a financial perspective, so the changes were well worth the challenges we faced initially."

When I was a truck driver for a towing company, the company merged with an auto shop and I had to switch my role from driving and the first responder to a B2B Account Executive. The significance it has on my career is that even though it was a risk for me to switch careers, it paid off and has given me a lot of new opportunities that have changed my career.
