Describe something you did to ensure you earned the trust of those you worked with.

"When I started at the coffee shop, that was my first job. I'd bought coffee from there several times and made friends with the people who worked there. As soon as I considered working there, I asked everyone there how they enjoyed working there, and when I started working there, I asked everyone to share their working knowledge with me. While doing this, I end up with a lot of repeat information but learned a lot of the tricks of the trade from many perspectives. I kept my head down, asked a lot of questions, and in the end, earned everyone's trust. I then started sharing some tricks of my own, shared the trade secrets they hadn't shared with each other, and got everyone, inadvertently on the same page."

It's common for people who are honest to naively assume everyone is honest like them. This is no different from when someone who is dishonest or untrustworthy assumes everyone is trying to undermine them or is disingenuous. So the aim here is to convey trust and integrity as integral to your nature and your common practise. Your answer should be relayed with ease.

A team that feels safe and respected makes for positive and productive work culture. The smoothly running inner workings of a business depend on its predictability. Therefore, part of what builds an effective and reliable team is cohesive work relations, feeling secure in their relations, and being able to trust one another.
