what's the real expectation for these conflict questions? is it to show that you've encountered it before? that you can manage it? that you're a reasonable person when faced with interpersonal difficulties? that sometimes hard choices have to be made wrt bad actors? that you are some kind of golden Spongebob/Candide that has never experienced being ground up in the gears of office politics?
I never know which way these are meant to go
- minitoar 3y agoIt depends on the role. IMO the bar is pretty low for many engineering roles. Determining “that you're a reasonable person when faced with interpersonal difficulties” is usually good enough.
- andrewingram 3y agoI'm really good at other people's interpersonal problems, I'm a natural mediator. Less good at my own.
- minitoar 3y agoThe bar is very low.
