How to Answer the Tell Me About a Time You Had a Conflict With a Coworker
Description
Episode 74 of Interview Prep with Fexingo tackles the classic behavioral question: 'Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a coworker.' Lucas walks through a specific framework called the CANDID method—Context, Approach, Nuance, Decisions, Impact, Deliverables—using a real example from a marketing team that disagreed on campaign strategy. Luna pushes back on whether 'conflict' always has to be negative, and they discuss when to escalate vs. resolve one-on-one. They share tips on choosing the right example, framing your role honestly, and avoiding red-flag language like 'I was right' or 'my coworker was difficult.' The episode closes with a quick checklist for practicing your story aloud. No fluff, just actionable prep for your next interview.
