Whether you will be working frontline relief work or back office support work with the Canadian Red Cross, teamwork is essential there to help change lives and make a greater impact on the health and well-being of others. No single man or woman could handle things there alone. Your interviewer will want to hear that you can thrive in a team-based environment. In your answer, they'll be looking to hear what type of team player you are and that you are willing and ready to do anything in a team-based environment for the greater good. In the example you discuss, it would be great if you could show how you help live their Fundamental Principles of unity, impartiality, and universality.

"For the last six years, my current administrative position has put me working hand in hand with many employees of my company. This ranges from top-level leaders to our sales staff in the field. Two years ago, I was part of a project team that was searching for a new CRL system for our business and I was honored to be asked to be a part of this team because the role I had in the system would be unique. I brought a very open perspective and willingness to communicate my needs to this team, while also speaking about how our sales, supply chain, and finance teams would be utilizing a new system. My perspective and thoughts were highly valued. I learned a lot from this experience that I can bring to the Canadian Red Cross team."
