Even though you may have a great relationship with your employer, there may be times where you don't see eye to eye. Think of a conflict or disagreement you had with your boss where you responded well, either by suggesting a compromise or taking a calm, relaxed stance when you could have responded in a heated tone. Compromise puts you in a great position with your boss, because it shows your desire to work together and highlights your creative problem-solving abilities.

"I had a boss that regularly forced overtime on employees at the last minute with no opportunity to make childcare arrangements or plan changes. Sometimes he knew about the need for plenty of time to warn everyone but did not. I spoke with him at length about morale, and eventually, he started giving the notice sooner, making everyone's lives easier."

"I have done my best to always get along with my bosses, but inevitably I've disagreed with some of them in the past. Generally, the disagreements have been surrounding distribution of tasks among the staff. When I see that employees are unfairly treated, it bothers me. I'm not very confrontational, but I did pull my boss aside on a few occasions to let her know that the treatment seemed unfair and it was hurting morale. She was not thrilled at first since it questioned her authority and knowledge of the team, but after explaining how it was impacting the morale and productivity, she understood."
