Have you ever encountered a situation where you had to work on a project with a difficult colleague? Please describe the experience.

When discussing a difficult situation or a challenging colleague, the focus should be less on the difficulty itself and more on how you dealt with it. Describe the situation briefly but spend more time detailing the proactive steps you took to handle the challenge. Explain how you communicated, whether you sought mediation, and how you managed to keep the project on track. Employers are looking for evidence of strong interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities. Remember, the goal is to show that you can be professional and collaborative, even in challenging circumstances.
