Flexibility

Behavioral

• Give an example of a time when you were trying to meet a deadline and you were interrupted and did not make the deadline. How did you respond?
  
• Give an example of a time when you had to quickly change project priorities. How did you do it?
  
• Recount a time when you accommodated someone beyond your comfort level, though you didn't have to.
  

Situational

• Suppose you are in a situation in which deadlines and priorities change frequently and rapidly. How would you handle it?
  
• Your shift is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. At 4 p.m. the boss asks for volunteers to work until 8 p.m. How do you usually respond?
  
• It's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. Your supervisor gives you an assignment that needs to be finished by 8:00 Monday morning. You have already made plans to be away the entire weekend. What would you do?
  
• You work an eight-hour day. You have eight tasks of equal measure that are due that day. You have a company party for two hours that day. What do you do?
  

General
