1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt quickly to changing priorities

During a busy retail shift, our delivery schedule changed at short notice, meaning 12 product lines needed repositioning before the afternoon rush. I quickly assessed which displays had highest customer traffic and prioritised those first. I reorganised my planned tasks, communicated the changes to 3 team members, and completed the critical displays within 2 hours. This ensured we maintained sales momentum during peak shopping hours, and the store manager praised our flexibility in handling the unexpected change.
2Question

Describe a situation where you built a positive relationship with a difficult colleague

A store supervisor initially resisted our merchandising changes, claiming they disrupted his team's routine. I scheduled a 15-minute chat to understand his concerns and discovered he worried about customer complaints during display changes. I proposed adjusting our setup times to quieter periods and offered to brief his team on product benefits. Within 3 weeks, he became our strongest advocate, even suggesting improvements that increased product visibility by 30% and reduced customer queries.
