Adaptability questions

Here are a few behavioral questions related to adaptability:

Question 1: Can you describe a time when you had to learn a new programming language or technology quickly? How did you go about it?

Intention of the question: The interviewer wants to know how you learn under time pressure. They are also checking what "quickly" means to you, and whether you can judge when you know enough to start.

Pitfalls to avoid: Avoid an example where you did not really need to learn anything new. Do not claim you became an expert in a week. Do not list the tutorials you watched
