Prepare for the job interview

ALTERNATIVE QUESTION:

a) How long does it usually take you to get used to a new environment?

b) How long do you feel it will take you to make an impact in your new job?

During a job interview, you will be asked how you adapt to change. Most interviewers will be able to ask very targeted behavior questions during an interview to determine exactly how you adapt to changes in the workplace and the specific role they are hiring for. If you are applying to a fast-paced job, it may also be important for the interviewer to find out how you deal with a rapidly changing workplace. When you answer these questions, always give a specific example that explains the situation, your actions and results. The interviewer wants to hear about how you handled the stress of getting promoted or adding extra responsibilities to your job description. These examples will demonstrate that you can effectively adapt to a changing work environment.
