Even if you talk about how you resolved a conflict perfectly (which rarely happens), interviewers will often follow up with probing questions in order to find out your thought process. In order to provide a meaningful answer to "tell me about a time you handled a difficult situation, conflict, or challenge," you want to make sure you highlight the following two things in your answer: (1) You are able to listen to, and accept, other people’s point of views even if you have already formed your own opinion and; (2) You are able to put the needs of the business above your own when a conflict does arise in the workplace Whether you decide to talk about how you handled a workplace conflict, or a difficult situation outside of the professional environment, as long as you touch on those two areas using the CARL method, you will be good to go! This video also includes a full sample answer so you can come back and reference it at any time.
