"I had a large project last month that was nearly complete when the client called to say that the dimensions provided were incorrect. Because of this, our team had to redo the entire proposal. It took us an additional four days of work, but, in the end, the client was delighted with our work, and it resulted in new opportunities with them."

"I would say that being in the software and technology business means regularly changing major project components. I am accustomed to changing gears at a moment's notice and can adapt very well. In my current position, my clients often pivot direction or present new information that changes our strategy or focus. It's important to be able to adapt to this industry easily."

Being able to swivel the focus of your project is a necessary skill for your success in most careers. Think about your strengths and how they helped you handle change. Make a list of your best strengths, then consider specific examples of how you used them while managing change. Talk to the interviewer about a time a significant change occurred on a project and how you handled implementing the new information.

"Recently, I took on a project with a lot of incoming information. I reverse-engineered the project, breaking it into as many micro-projects as possible. Every project is a puzzle for a variety of reasons and priorities. So, I just had my team work on different sections of the puzzle. Then, as new information came in or changed, we just kept assembling the puzzle. Whenever I can anticipate a contingency, I build that into my project. It alleviates stress and ensures greater success."
