Although most questions tend to ask for examples of situations where you have demonstrated specific skills, they can appear in different formats. Examples include:

• How do you ensure that you maintain good working relationships with your senior colleagues?
• Give us an example of a situation where you had to deal with a conflict with an internal or external client.
• How do you influence people in situations where there are conflicting agendas?
• Tell us about a situation where you made a decision and then changed your mind.

In many cases, the interviewers will start with a general questions, which they will then follow up with a more specific example-based questions. So, for example:

• How do you manage upwards?
• Give us an example of a situation where you had a fundamental disagreement with one of your superiors.

The key in answering all questions is that you are required to "demonstrate" that you have the right skills by using examples based on your prior experience, and not just talk about the topic in a theoretical and impersonal manner.
