Personal Care Aides can be accused of wrongdoing or yelled at by their clients at times. Some clients may have mental or cognitive issues that make them misbehave, or a family member might suspect that their loved one is being taken advantage of. The interviewer wants to hear how you handle conflict and disputes while remaining calm and professional. If you have not encountered this with a client before, tell the interviewer that this has never happened to you but explain how you would handle the situation.

"I have been yelled at by a client before. When I arrived at her house, she started yelling at me that I was two hours late and she missed her doctor's appointment because of me. She called me inconsiderate for not letting her know I was running late and threatened to report me to my supervisor. I was not late and was 15 minutes early. I showed her my watch, and she thought I had changed it since her clock said it was a different time. I showed her my phone, and then she looked confused. She then showed me her clock on her wall, which had stopped working, but she was unaware. I changed the batteries in the clock, and she apologized for yelling at me. Everything was fine after that!"
