QUESTION 29 OF 40

If you were asked to take over a project for a co-worker who called in sick and required to work overtime, how would you react? Where do you draw the line when it comes to being a team player?

With over 65,000 employees globally, it's no surprise that teamwork is a core value at Becton, Dickinson, and Company. Use this opportunity to demonstrate your willingness to step in and support team members when needed to achieve common goals and where you might need to balance your workload with additional projects during this time.

"I will always choose to be a team player. If a co-worker called in sick, I would take over what I could. I would only draw the line if I felt I was being taken advantage of for any reason. For example, if they were purposefully being inefficient and expecting me to pick up the slack. For the sake of the company, I am always willing to go above and beyond expectations."

"So long as my willingness to jump in is not taken advantage of, I am happy to help when my company is in a pinch. When the tables turn, and I may be ill, it would be nice to know that someone will be there to help me, as well."
