It is worth considering how the question is phrased. A conflict at work could indicate a conflict between yourself and another employee or a time you exhibited strong leadership skills to resolve a dispute between two other members of the team. It could also mean you had a personal conflict of interest. In your answer, exhibit grounded decision-making and integrity. Explain the obstacles and the source of the conflict. Provide details as to how long it took to resolve, and the steps you took to ensure this situation wasn't repeated.

"I was working at a store in my district when a former employee who was disgruntled showed up drunk and belligerent, trying to stir things up. I was grateful I was there and stepped in. This employee recognized me and started pleading with their case, badmouthing the manager whose decision to let this employee go I had supported. It was unfortunate. I knew the guy and liked him for my part. In the past, he was friendly, and we had a rapport anytime I visited that store, and had our own banter. But they let him go. I supported their decision, and he came back drunk and wasn't himself that day. I wanted to escort him off the premises. He tried to slip past me twice, but I barred his way and escorted him out. It was easy to do so without making physical contact. Once outside and away from our customers and staff, I objectively broke down how they were making their situation worse, and that this behavior wasn't a good look. I told them to go home, sober up, and reflect on how their behavior was part of the problem that got them fired. They were Eighty-Sixed from the store, and that was that."
