    Think about a time that you maybe had to decide to do something despite a member of staff/ team being unhappy with it. Or when you had to decide to deal with a customer in a specific manner that they may have not been happy with

    Have never heard of such a question come up in an interview. The marathon is a good answer though, as it shows motivation, forward planning and determination.

    It's hard to help properly as we don't know what line of work it is for.

    Swallowed my pride and individuality and 'prepared' for a behavioral interview.
    I'd give the job to the first person with this answer.
