Responding to a conflict can be tough, especially in a team environment where you want to be sensitive not to step on any toes. Share an example of a conflict that occurred within your department or between you and a co-worker that you effectively resolved. Explain the situation and how your actions resulted in a resolution or a compromise.

"My coworker was a great salesman but horrible at the administrative side. He made so many mistakes and didn't seem to care. It bothered me because I take such pride in the quality of my work. I decided to talk with him and found out that he wasn't very clear on expectations or how to do some of the basic aspects of the paperwork for each sale. He ended up getting some additional training to get on the same page as the rest of the team."

Since I work as a pool nurse in the children's hospital, I am on duty in every ward for different periods of time. On one ward there are problems with bullying and generally with the atmosphere of the ward. The ward is not getting new nurses and some of the students refuse to work in this ward. During my assignments, I have witnessed some situations and given honest feedback, and pointed out to staff to act differently in certain situations. If something affected me personally, I sought out the conversation because I am a very direct person and like to clarify everything personally in the first place. I also sought dialogue with the ward manager and pointed out weaknesses and problems. Supervision was planned with the ward.

This is a strong example of your ability to handle conflict directly and in a healthy manner. You can improve this answer further by explaining a particular situation that caused conflict and inspired you to speak up to address the issue, such as when a supervisor criticized your work to another, spoke to you in an unkind manner, or did not provide clear assignments. This makes your answer more memorable and helps the interviewer better understand the kind of conflict you have successfully managed in the past.
