Companies look for flexible and adaptable applicants for their teams.

Flexibility and adaptability are a must nowadays. As the world is changing in some profound ways, rapidly and sometimes drastically, you should understand that companies need to follow those changes to remain competitive. And so do you! As organizations have become less hierarchical and agile, employees must handle many different tasks. Yet, they should demonstrate a willingness to take on responsibilities even when it seems to be outside their area of expertise. Remember the problem-solving ability we discussed later: take this "problem" as an opportunity for learning and putting all your knowledge into practice! Be flexible, adapt, and you may succeed.
