Executive Recruiter Interview Question:

Explain me about a situation where you did not get along with a superior?

The wrong answer to this hot-button question is, “I've been very fortunate and have never worked for someone I didn't get along with.”

Everyone has had situations where he or she disagreed with a boss, and saying that you haven't forces the recruiter to question your integrity. Also, it can send out a signal that the candidate is not seasoned enough or hasn't been in situations that require him or her to develop a tough skin or deal with confrontation.

It's natural for people to have differing opinions. When this has occurred in the past, you could explain that you presented your reasons and openly listened to other opinions as well.
