Not everyone on staff is going to get along and that's okay. The most important part is that the staff is able to work together to help the youth have a fun and safe place to learn. Many times there will be issues among employees, but is important to know how to handle everyone's differences.

The interviewer wants to hear about a time that you were on a challenging staff and how you handled it. You can talk about a staff you were the boss of and how you were able to resolve the issues among staff. If you haven't been the boss, that's okay- just talk about a time that you were a part of a difficult staff and how you handled it. The interviewer just wants to make sure that you'll be able to handle challenges with people.
