Give the interviewer an example of your conflict resolution skills, past or future, i.e., how you have dealt, or would deal, with conflict at work. If you do not have any example in a professional situation, you can provide an example of conflict in a university setting.

"I remain professional and respectful, and seek to resolve any conflict in a timely manner. For example, when working on a project with other team members, if someone is not submitting his/her part of the work by the agreed-upon deadline, I will meet with this person to see why he/she hasn't done so. If the person simply does not care about respecting the deadlines, I would calmly explain the repercussions for all of us as we are all part of a team and the project's success, and grades, depend on all of us. This particular situation happened to me when working on a project in a marketing class while in university, and I would act in a similar way at work."
