How do you handle tension with your supervisor?

Stress Question Sample Answer

"The only time there was a tension between my boss and I was when both of us got busy to keep track of each other's schedule. He gave me a high-priority job while I was swamped with work for another client. But we managed to prevent that from happening again by having regular staff meetings to keep track of what everyone was doing at the time."

Stress Question Tips

  • A safe answer would be to show an example of a miscommunication you had in your early relationship with your boss.
  • Show how you got over the problem and how you prevented it from happening again.
