Tell me have you ever had a conflict with a colleague or supervisor? If so, how did you resolve it?

This is a challenging question overall since it asks for you to be honest about something that you may not be comfortable with. But it's important to answer it honestly because it's a realistic question. Conflicts may arise but there's always a way to resolve them. Be reasonable when you answer this question. Don't get angry or defensive. Provide the scenario as objectively as possible and reflect on both sides of the argument. Be clear as to what happened step by step. Explain your side as well as the other position's side. Explain how the situation was resolved. What the interviewer is looking for here is whether or not you're a team player, and whether you have a reasonable state of mind. As long as you answer it providing the full picture and circumstances, you should be in the clear. Don't discuss any major conflicts that might've led to enormous problems in your past.
