Tell us about a time you disagreed with a coworker. Describe the situation, your approach, and the outcome.

The President & CEO of Boeing, David Calhoun, explains, "Seek, Speak & Listen is a simple concept with big impact for Boeing. Through these habits, teammates feel confident speaking up and trust their voice will be heard, which allows us to address issues before they become problems. We also introduced the Seek, Speak and Listen habits to build stronger teams, achieve better business outcomes, to understand each other better. By embracing these simple habits, we make better decisions, drive innovation and build connection. We seek out the places where things aren't going well and where anxiety may be brewing, so we can learn and address issues before they become problems. We get all perspectives on the table and ensure every team member feels safe to speak up. We listen to each other with humility and grace. This is a key part of our commitment to collective progress, lasting cultural change, and enhancing trust from within."

Most of HireVue's interview questions were developed by IO Psychologists, and designed as situational judgment questions, asking about a situation you've been in, your course of action, and the results or consequences of your actions. When asked to "Talk about a time when...," respond with a structured story-based example. As Boeing explains, this is "to better understand your past experience and skills. For example, rather than asking you to speculate, the interview questions will focus on your experiences: "Tell me about a time when ..." "Give me an example of ..." "Have you ever ..." "Was there an instance where you've had to ..." "Describe your experience with ..."

Therefore, Boeing recommends you use the STAR method to formulate your answers. "Answer questions like a STAR! Plan ahead. Before your interview, think about topics that you could use the STAR format to address. They'll help you answer every question more completely. When developing your talking points, think like a STAR: Situation. Describe a challenge or situation you experienced. Task. What did you need to achieve? Action. What steps did you take to complete your task? Results. What was the outcome? Start by thinking through your experiences and identifying successes that map to the role you're applying for. Be prepared to talk about those situations. The STAR format helps you organize your examples so you can stay focused and describe your experiences to the best advantage."

"Well, I was collaborating with a teammate who I am also friends with now, outside of work. We're pretty close. But he can be a bit headstrong at times. As we hit a roadblock with our findings in our research, he became quite insistent on how we should proceed. He positioned himself and dug in his heels. I learned a while back how to navigate this just to understand his intentions, where they were coming from in his position, and why it was so important for him to feel heard and validated. I would mirror what he was saying as I went along and actively listened. Once he felt heard, he was less pushy, and things would open up into more of a discussion. But this time, that didn't work. So I agreed to accommodate his approach, not completely sure whether his approach or my approach was better. On this occasion, his solution worked in the end. But his approach to his communication still needs some work."
