Avoid saying you do not adapt well to change. While many people may not embrace change, if you cannot challenge your way of thinking when changes occur in the workplace, the interviewer may question hiring you as an Arson Investigator.

"I investigated a wildland fire with my team. The evidence showed that the fire was accidentally set, and we were wrapping up the case. A team member came to me with new evidence that indicated arson. My team member said dispatch received an anonymous call saying the caller's boyfriend admitted to starting the fire. We had to quickly adapt to this new information and move the investigation in a new direction."
