While on shift, how often do you create alternative scenarios to help you adjust to changing situations?
"I feel that it is essential to create alternative scenarios in all situations. One cannot guess what will happen in the end, so it is great to be prepared for all possible outcomes."
"It's important in emergency situations to have premeditated contingency plans. It takes out the uncertainty in the moment and better prepares everyone to adapt if a problem should arise."
Being able to problem solve and think outside the box when it comes to changing situations is a precious skill set. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to create a variety of potential scenarios.
"As a 911 Dispatcher, I am ready to adapt at all times. This adaptation is a necessary skill in our line of work. Alternate scenarios are great, but I prefer to stay focused on the scenario at hand, and be ready to pivot when the demand comes."
