Think of a time in the past where you experienced a conflict with another party.Now, imagine using this as an example in a job interview when asked the conflict question. Be as honest as possible with your response, no one will see it but you! Does it reflect your approach to conflict in a positive way? If you could do it over again, what would you do differently?

1. Clearly articulate as simply as possible what the problem was
2. What role did you play in the conflict as it was evolving?
3. How was the conflict resolved? What was the end result?
4. What was your relationship with the other party after the conflict was resolved?
