Conflict with a Boss/Supervisor
- Questions: "Have you experienced conflict with supervisor? How you handle the same?" Answer: "Honestly I have not, but if I were to experience that in the future, then here’s how I intend to resolve it. Think through and list down my issues, possible issue would be such supervisor’s inability to involve others proactively in decisions. Request for a one on one meeting with the supervisor, and relay my issues confidentially. If the situation does not improve then I’d go to a neutral party -- say his boss or in some cases HR.

Customer Services Agent
- Question: How do you deal with an angry customer? Answer: I found that allowing the customer to vent is an excellent way to allow them to calm down. After that then I make effort to correct the problem. A great many are not happy because they feel they have not been listened to. I do no allow anything to be taken personally as I understand they are not upset with me but the situation.

Biased and just plain wrong
- Did your dad get you your last job? (...and then about another job...) How did you manage to get that position? No, my dad never got me any job and I never mentioned anything about my dad during the interview. I got my previous job by applying for it like everyone else, without connections and by pure merit. I think the employer felt I must somehow had connections to get decent positions in the past since I am physically and chronologically young. Shame on him!
