If an perspective employer asks in an interview why you left your previous position and it was because of personal conflict how do you answer professionally?

Answer

As with all questions during an interview be honest and use professional language when describing the situation. If you attempted to resolve the situation then describe the measures you took. Leave emotion out of it. It is understood that sometimes there is personality conflict and there are times when it cannot be resolved.
