Adaptability

Tell me about a change at work you didn't choose and wouldn't have chosen — a reorg, a new direction, a new way of working. What did you do in the first few weeks?

You're three weeks into a project you care about when your manager shelves it — priorities changed — and moves you to something less interesting, starting today. What do you do?

junior situational

Walk me through a time something you hadn't seen coming knocked your plan off course. What did the first day of recovery look like?

Tell me about a work situation that turned urgent fast — something broke, a deadline collapsed — with no procedure to lean on. Walk me through your first hour.

Tell me about a moment you were put on the spot without the answer — a question, a demo, a call going sideways. What did you do right then?

Describe a moment at work that got heated — raised voices, real frustration in the room. What did you do while it was still hot?

Describe a piece of work where the expectations and rules were never made clear. How did you decide what good enough looked like?

Think about the last time you were new — a job, a team, a client. What did you deliberately do to learn how things really worked there?

junior

Tell me about a piece of critical feedback you disagreed with when you first heard it. What did you do with it?

Tell me about a work setback that genuinely knocked you back — a failure, a lost deal, a collapsed project. What did the next month look like?
