[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The interviewer doesn't care whether you've been in a seriously conflicted work environment so much as how you deal with conflict, large or small. So think of a conflict, any conflict, you've experienced or a potential conflict, that you navigated and successfully concluded. They just want to hear how you think through things. It doesn't have to be completely work related - did you have a lazy team mate in a group project in grad school? How did you deal with it? Did you have some one flake on you last minute for a major volunteer project? Did a supervisor ever instruct you to do something that the higher up boss did not like? It doesn't have to be a big argument, but anything that could have resulted in conflict that you successfully navigated.

I would not recommend making something up. You'd have to be a pathological liar of sorts to pull that off; you're probably just going to come off as insincere if you do that. [/quote]

Thank you! I have prepared something for the conflict question. I have one more question. How do you address the question of applicable/relevant experience at a job interview? When you lack a specified qualification in the job description, how do you tackle that and persuade the interviewer that they should hire you even though other candidates might have that particular skill/qualification? Why should they go with you and not someone with that experience that they are looking for? [/quote]
