QUESTION 18 OF 40

Have you ever used your sense of humor to diffuse a work situation?

The interviewer wants to know that you can diffuse a tense situation. They also want to see a bit more of your personality! Stress and fast-paced work environments can cause people to feel overwhelmed and sometimes even angry or upset. Think of a time you took a lighthearted approach to diffuse a tense situation.

"I use my sense of humor at work by poking fun in friendly ways or adding a bit of good sarcasm. Humor can make things lighter and more fun on the floor and allows everyone to shake off whatever's bringing us down and move on to the next issue to tackle."

"Humor is one of those universal things to which everyone can relate. It can bridge a gap or bond a relationship when used properly. I use it with good taste and professionalism in my communications. It is important to enjoy what you do, and humor is a big component of that."
