The interviewer wants to know that you can diffuse a tense situation if needed. 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 when you took a much more lighthearted approach to diffuse a tense situation.

"I would say that I use my sense of humor often at work. This humor could be by poking fun in friendly ways, or adding a bit of good sarcasm. Humor does seem to make things a bit lighter and more fun on the floor, 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. When used properly, it can help bridge a gap or bond a relationship. I use it, with good taste and professionalism, often in my communications. At the end of the day, it is important to enjoy what you do, and humor is a big component of that."
