"As a person that thrives in a team-based environment, building trust on a team is so important to the team's success and my success as an individual. If hired at Boeing, I would begin the building of trust by being a very open, honest, and approachable new colleague on your team. I would take the time to get to know my new colleagues and give them some insight into who I am, both personally and professionally. As we begin working together, I would be respectful of others' time and efforts and always deliver on what I say I'm going to do."

"As an entry level engineer, I feel I can earn the trust of my new coworkers by demonstrating my willingness to work hard alongside a passion for learning. I will utilize the time and energy my coworkers invest in teaching me to the best of my ability and I will honor my commitments. I imagine I will make mistakes at some point, but I will own them and work hard to improve as necessary."

"It can be difficult to earn the trust of new coworkers working in an advanced role with top security clearance. For good reason, it can take a while for teams to believe in someone new. I do not have a specific plan for earning trust other than to do what I have always done in every role I have had the chance to work in. I treat everyone with the upmost respect and courtesy. I make clear commitments, and I keep my word. I am honest about my experience and skills. I am accountable for my work, and I make an effort to improve when gaps in my skills are present."

"I recognize that trust is not easily gained in certain settings, and I strive to reach the goal of gaining the trust of my co-workers as soon as possible when working on a new team. I do this by approaching my work with a good attitude, by making clear commitments, and by delivering quality work. The analysis deliverables I create are well informed and accurate. My teams are quickly able to see that they can trust the information I provide. Once they trust my skills as an analyst, the rest seems to fall into place as I am a courteous and empathetic person."

"As a project manager, I feel there are three main ways I can work to earn the trust of my coworkers. First, I feel it is critical to demonstrate advanced leadership skills. This includes leading by example, inspiring others to do their best, and addressing team conflict.

Second, I gain trust with my teams by working to enable them to execute their tasks as easily as possible. I remove roadblocks and help them however I can.

Finally, I gain trust by serving as a sounding board for my teammates. I keep their confidence and help them work through difficult problems and conflicts within the team. While there are many other avenues to gain trust such as excellence in strategic planning, or handling difficult customer issues, I believe the three strategies I mentioned would help me to gain the trust of my coworkers here at Boeing as quickly as possible."

"I think the first thing I could do to earn the trust of my coworkers at Boeing would be to put in the time to learn the systems I will be working on. Anything I develop will be more effective if I understand the architecture, the integration points, the database design, and the procedures used within the systems. Additionally, I would earn their trust by delivering my work on time and ensuring that it is thorough and developed with a high level of quality."
