Job Interview Questions and Answers
Question 58: How do you handle (resolve) problems with co-workers?
Employers want employees who can resolve problems with co-workers on their own without getting a supervisor involved and who can work well with co-workers without disrupting the work environment. Therefore, a good answer to this question tells the interviewer that you have had conflicts with co-workers (because everyone has) but you resolved them on your own.
Good answer: "I haven't had that many conflicts with co-workers, but there was one particular co-worker who would make sarcastic, biting remarks to me while we worked. I think she was jealous because I was much younger than she was and the only other female in the sales department. Finally, one day I sat down with her and asked her why she was so sarcastic to me. She denied it, but the comments did stop after that. Eventually, we became friends."
