We have several internal applicants for this post. If we do offer you the job, how would you cope with any possible resentment from these disappointed candidates about an outsider being brought in?

Whenever I take up a new job, I try to listen and learn, so that I get a good idea of what the issues, problems and personalities are in the team that I am working with. I would certainly adopt a professional approach to everyone I worked with and, of course, I would hope that other staff would do the same. On the other hand, disappointment can be hard to cope with and if resentment seemed to be affecting the way someone worked, or the way we worked together, then I think I would have to talk to him or her about it and offer reassurance and encouragement. If their behaviour became totally unreasonable, then I might have to consider other approaches.

You might also have to adapt this answer if you are applying for an internal promotion and other staff from your section or department are rivals for the job. In fact, this can actually be a more difficult situation to deal with if you are successful.
