The goal of your answer is to acknowledge that conflicts will arise at work. How you resolve conflict demonstrates your professionalism and emotional intelligence. You want to leave the interviewer with confidence in your ability to solve problems.

Focus on a conflict that you experienced and resolved. It is important to tell the story succinctly. You want to share enough information to fully explain the conflict without getting so mired in detail that your answer runs long. Explain what happened, what you did to resolve the conflict, and the outcome of the situation.

Recently, I worked with a team to edit a large number of photos for our client to use for a large website rollout. I partnered with another photographer to edit all of the photos in Photoshop. We frequently loaded photos onto the client's FTP and found that the photos didn't match in terms of color temperature. It occurred to me that if we changed our workflow so that we were working from the reference photo, we could have greater consistency. We shifted the workflow, and it saved us so much time. I learned a lot from this conflict. Now, when I start a new project, I ask a lot of questions to determine the best workflow.
