While some of your job duties will entail working independently, much of the time, you will be collaborating with other members of the Eli Lilly team and will be working closely with your mentor. The interviewer wants to hear that you are a team player and can work well with diverse groups.

If you have work experience collaborating with others, describe how well you have worked with others in the past. If you do not have previous work experience, explain how you have worked with others on a sports team or in school.

"I collaborate very well with others. It helps when like-minded individuals work towards a common goal for things to flow smoothly in the workplace. In my three years in college and working in retail, I have never had any issues with classmates or coworkers. I enjoy working independently and with others and learning from their experiences."
