Many public transit jobs are government-run, managed by the city in which you work, or backed by a union. The interviewer would like to know that you can professionally navigate the landscape when it comes to asking for change at Winnipeg Transit or even making suggestions and recommendations. Discuss how you would approach asking for a change in the workplace if you were unhappy with the current situation. Show that you are confident enough to approach a subject but also professional enough to know how to go about it. If you have a specific example of a time when you did ask for change, tell the interviewer about the action that you took.

"As the lead dispatcher in my current company I felt that the hours we were asked to work were become less reasonable every week. When I first started the job, I would bank around five overtime hours per week. Now, on average, I am asked to work at least 15 overtime hours per week. Of course, I comply as often as I can, but it is not in anyone's best interest to have overexerted employees. I approached our union rep about my concerns, and we crafted a plan to have a productive conversation around the issue. My suggestion was to hire two new full-time employees to equal the 45 hours of overtime banked every week. The request is still in review; however, I feel great about the way I handled my concern."

"When I first joined my last employer, I noticed that the company did not have a workplace harassment and bullying policy. Coming out of university and being very sensitive to the diversity and inclusion conversation, I felt I would bring a fresh perspective to my employer. I requested a meeting with the management team, where I brought up my concerns, along with concrete examples that I had seen in our work environment. The leadership team thanked me for my concerns and for being so alert and sensitive to potentially bigger issues over time. As a result, they granted me the title of 'Diversity Liaison' where I am an appointed safe place for anyone feeling uncomfortable for any reason."
