Question: Have you ever had to adjust your plans due to unforeseen circumstances?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I have had to adjust my plans several times due to unforeseen circumstances.

Reason: Unforeseen circumstances can arise anytime and disrupt our plans, so it becomes necessary to adjust them.

Example: Last year, I planned to go on a road trip with my friends during the summer break. However, one of my friends got sick, and we had to cancel the trip. Instead, we planned a staycation and explored our city, which turned out to be equally enjoyable.

Alternative: Instead of adjusting the plan, we could have canceled the trip altogether. But since we were flexible, we could come up with an alternative plan and still have a good time.
