"If a conflict arose, I would address the person directly. I would focus on the situation, facts, and events that led to the conflict. I would share my thoughts, identify areas of agreement and disagreement, and I would listen carefully as the other person did the same. During this conversation, I would keep a positive tone and remain respectful and professional. I would work with this person to discuss possible resolutions and areas where we could compromise to find an acceptable solution. If we were unable to come to a resolution, I would see if we could find a third party to help mediate, or I would discuss the next steps with my manager."

It's normal to occasionally experience conflict in the workplace, especially when working with people daily. As an emergency care assistant, you will likely work with many other healthcare professionals, so you must have well-developed interpersonal skills. Give the interviewer an example of a time you experienced conflict in the workplace and describe the situation, how you approached it or addressed it, and what the outcome was. Refrain from speaking negatively about past coworkers and focus on the positives of the situation.
