How you interact with difficult people says a great deal about you. Think back to a time when you had a strained relationship with a supervisor, coworker, or client. Maybe it took you a while to warm them up to the point where they were friendly towards you. You must show the interviewer your ability to persevere even in uncomfortable situations. Highlight your ability to work alongside a variety of personalities while remaining productive and positive. Avoid speaking poorly of anyone in your past roles, as this would only reflect negatively on you. Be sure to end your response on a positive note!

"I once had a client who was very demanding and aggressive on the phone. Nobody in our department wanted to answer the phone when he called. I took it upon myself to become the clients' main point of contact since I seem to have the thickest skin in these situations. When he would call, I was very to-the-point, didn't waste his time with small talk, but was of course very cordial. After a few successful calls, I started to add in comments such as 'I appreciate that you are so organized!' and 'When you call knowing what you need, it makes my job so much easier!' These compliments on his efficiency warmed him up a bit. Now, he calls asking for me, and we are on a friendly basis."

"I understand from my internship that the food production industry attracts a large variety of personalities. I am friendly and, during my internship, found it a touch challenging to connect with my supervisor, who was more 'matter-of-fact.' I did some online research on how to best communicate with her personality type and adapted. This relationship during my three-week internship wasn't the deepest, but I made it work. This situation will occur throughout my career, and I will choose to do the same; educate myself and adapt."
