Changing and Improving interview questions

Behaviour interview questions for Changing and Improving. Prepare STAR examples that show seeking better ways of working and adapting to change.

Assessors look for: evidence that you improve processes, adopt better approaches and help others through change.

Example questions

  • Tell us about a time you demonstrated Changing and Improving.
  • Give an example of when you had to identify a weakness in a process.
  • Describe a situation where you tested a better approach and how you decided what to do.
  • Tell us about a time your approach to seeking better ways of working and adapting to change did not go to plan.
  • How do you make sure your work shows evidence that you improve processes, adopt better approaches and help others through change?

Answering well

  • Pick one example; do not leap between three stories.
  • Spend most of your time on Action.
  • End with a result and a brief reflection.
  • Do not confuse this behaviour with Making Effective Decisions alone: change needs concrete improvement, not just a choice.
