Question 1 of 35

How do you handle conflict in the workplace?

You spend so many waking hours in the workplace, and conflict between co-workers can happen. The interviewer would like to know more about HOW you handle conflict. This is not an opportunity to start venting about your current workplace culture. The interviewer wants to see that you will take accountability for conflict, whether the occurrence is considered your fault or not. Handling workplace conflict tactfully and with grace should be the only option. Give a clear example of a time when you professionally managed workplace conflict.
