A company has offered the chance for an interview.
There is only one position available (as it is a managerial position) and is in quite a 'tight-knit' industry (i.e mostly everyone knows each other).



One part of the interview is a group activity. In this case, the other group participants are also applying for the same position as you - and you are likely to see them during this group activity.



How can one approach this group activity without 'burning-bridges' with the other applicants?
