As with every question in an interview, you need to be honest with your answers. But you should also keep in mind that you don’t want to paint yourself in a negative way. There are a few things to remember when answering this type of question:

☛ Don’t say that you can never get along with a certain type of person. The company wants to know that you can interact professionally with anyone. Using absolutes like “never” or “always” implies that you’re not adaptable.

☛ Show that you’re a problem solver: Tell of a specific difficult instance you’ve had with another person and what you did to resolve the situation. Remember PAR stories and the STAR method.
