"My previous director and I got along well. We had very different personal interests, so we did not spend a lot of time chatting, but our work interests were aligned, and we respected each other."

"My previous director and I had a great working relationship. We were in sync when it came to accomplishing things we needed in regards to school communication and curriculum. We scheduled weekly touch base meetings to stay current on our progress and address any issues that came up along the way. I learned a lot from them on leadership while adding great value to the team."

When you answer this question, remain positive, even if the experience wasn't. Avoid talking about any previous drama and do not speak poorly of your employer. Keep your answer short and respectful.
If you had a good relationship with your previous director: 'I had a very healthy relationship with my previous employer. She was easy to approach, and we would bounce ideas off of each other quite often. I would sum it up as a relationship lead by strong mutual respect.'
If you did not have a good relationship with your previous director: "I have had healthier relationships in the past with previous employers, but we did the best that we could. Our communication styles were very different, which made it challenging at times."

I get along with everyone, including my director at the job I am at now. We all work together as a team, and when we have an issue, we know we can go to each other to work it out. We check in on each other, offer advice, and praise. It is a great feeling to know that we all genuinely care about each other.
