Q:

Describe a situation in which you had to arrive at a compromise or guide others to a compromise ?

Answer

This question is designed to see how well you can mediate a situation and handle conflict. You want to come across as someone who can compromise when necessary. An interviewer wants to see that you can not only reach an outcome that is desirable for both sides of a conflict of interest, but also that you can understand where the other person is coming from. Empathy and understanding go a long way in any job and this is a good opportunity to show that you can put yourself in another’s shoes.
