Being adaptable can mean less time looking for work, and less stress as you tackle your new job search tasks.

Our ability to have life satisfaction, to be happy and to have good relationships depends on our ability to adapt.

Adaptable people are open to new ideas, and don't need to follow traditional ways. They're able to anticipate changes and don't panic when things don't go according to plan.

Adaptable people excel as leaders, earn the respect of their peers, inspire those around them to embrace change, and helps to facilitate even the most unanticipated transitions.

Adaptable people take adversity in stride, adjusting their thoughts and expectations to suit their new reality, instead of dwelling on "what could have been."
