How did you resolve a conflict with your managment?

In an interview, and particularly with a question like this one, the interviewer is trying to get a feeling for how well you work with others. He or she wants to know if you are cooperative, thoughtful, considerate, and flexible. Conflicts arise, and the interviewer wants to get an idea of whether you will be able to handle them courteously or whether you'll be a source of constant arguments and discord. Think of a situation where your supervisor wanted one thing and you wanted something else. (For example, you were expected to work late when it conflicted with other, pre-arranged plans.) Explain how you dealt with the situation. Did you simply cave in? Did you discuss the matter and develop priorities? Did you offer an alternative solution? Your best course of action in this case is to prepare an answer which references experiences in your own life rather than examples provided by others. Your answer will come across more genuine if you can provide details and specifics.
