  • Tell us about a situation in which you had to adjust to changes over which you had no control. How did you handle it?


  • Correct Answer
  • Strategy Statement: The interviewer is interested in knowing how you are able to perform in a workplace where you are not the one who is ?making the calls? The typical workplace environment involves a tiered structure where there are those who make the decisions and those who perform the work An entry level position most often assumes the role of the latter Sample Response: I am a performer of tasks As a new employee, I understand that many of my duties will be directed by those above me These will undoubtedly involve changes, and as long as I understand how the changes are related to the betterment of the company/business/corporation, I am fully ?on board? I once worked for a corporation where one of my duties was to prepare the annual report As a result of input from the overseeing board and members, the format for that report was changed significantly Although this meant that I had to relearn the report-writing process, with my understanding that this change would mean that the report was more accessible and easy to read, I had no problem with the demands of that change
