Cleveland Clinic follows a team-based culture designed to acknowledge the value of all employees and their connections with each other. The interviewer asks your definition of teamwork to know how you view a team and what it means to work together. The Cambridge Dictionary defines teamwork as 'the combined actions of a group of people working together effectively to achieve a goal.' Your definition does not need to match the Cambridge Dictionary version. Still, you want to relay the value of working together to achieve a common goal. Explain how you would describe teamwork to someone who did not understand the word while tying it into the position you are interviewing for.

"My definition of teamwork is working together with others to achieve a common goal. I enjoy working with a team because everyone has a common goal, with different experiences and ideas for achieving it. Working as a nurse on a multidisciplinary team allows me to use my knowledge and experience while learning from others with different opinions, backgrounds, and ideas. I am excited for this opportunity to join the fine team at Cleveland Clinic."
