Working in clinical research and biotech and within an organization as large as Syneos Health, you will likely interact with several people daily, including colleagues, senior leaders, patients, their families, and public vendors. Possessing the skills to handle difficult situations and people in the workplace is essential. Think about a time you had a challenging coworker or patient and what made it difficult. Describe the situation and how you handled it. Avoid speaking negatively about a former employer or colleague when answering.

"Although I consider myself pretty easygoing, I am also very passionate about my patients and the care that they receive. I have been aware of disagreements between other co-workers, but I like to think of myself as more of a peacekeeper. I feel like professional people should be able to discuss things logically and come to an agreement that is satisfactory for everyone involved."

"I think the most common disagreement between myself and others has involved our feelings about how healthcare should be carried out. However, I have learned, as have most of the people I have worked with, that while our opinions are important, plans of care are designated by strict guidelines and with the input of everyone on the care team and the patient. Learning to respect those guidelines and patient wishes usually resolves issues that arise."
