How to handle questions on conflict during interviews sessions

By the time you get called in for a job interview, you have crossed all the hurdles that career coaches often speak of. Your resume and cover letter caught the eye of the recruiter and did not get tossed into the growing rejection pile and the panel liked you enough to want to see more of you. It is inevitable then, that you want to present the best version of yourself when the day comes.

It is said that there are some questions that have no right answers. I do not know if this can be said of some of the tricky interview questions I have heard. One of the trickiest is being asked to comment on personalities at your former (or current place of work). From time to time, even the most people-centred among us run into disagreements with our colleagues and bosses. It is a fact of life.
