Have you ever witnessed a peer doing or saying something inappropriate? How did you react in that situation?

Before your interview, put some thought into an ethical dilemma you have faced in your career that involved the actions of a colleague or team member. Remember that this example can come from your schooling or working career. Outline the situation and the swift action you took to make it right. Whether you confronted the colleague directly or decided to take it up the chain of command, discuss why you took that action.

"I currently work out of a large shared office with my direct colleagues, and depending on the time of day and day of the week, it can be a busy place. One of my colleagues has been lackadaisical in the past about leaving his computer screen up with confidential customer information, notes, and pricing in full view when he walks away. Knowing that he is in direct violation of our company policy, I immediately lock his computer down when I notice this. I've also talked with him a few times about our institutional policies on this. Over the past year, he has been better about not leaving patient information up on his computer when he walks away."
