Interview - Working with People

In this situation, I believe communication is very important. I'll usually have a meeting with my direct on the problems I have. It's easier to work on a problem together when everyone involved is aware, so I always communicate the problems that I see.

I'm very open with my manager. I feel it's important that my manager knows about how I feel. I always start a conversation and try and solve our differences through professional conversation.

It depends on the specific problem, but in most cases, I'll face the problem that I have with my job and find a solution.

If I avoid the problem, it will always be there and my work quality will decrease. So I found that solving the problems immediately helps me in the long term.

I handle conflicts by analyzing them. I'm a very analytical person and I feel all problems have a solution. I usually think about the conflict and find ways to deal with it.

I had to fire one employee who continually failed to complete projects. Before firing this employee, I tried to work with him by motivating, encouraging, and even providing different work. In the end, nothing worked and I had no choice but to let him go.
 

If the problem is related to a difficult task that a coworker cannot solve, then I'll get all the team members to help out.

But if the problem is due to laziness or unwillingness to work, then I'll inform my manager of the problem.

That's a tough question... I like the combination of the two. It's great working in teams while getting and sharing ideas with each other, but it's also nice to sit at your desk and work hard productively.

I like to do both so it's hard to choose one over the other.
