Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

"We were working on a seriously complex project, albeit probably boring in translation, but there were some highly complex problems that required some innovative solutions, and we had to come up with them at pace. So, our team formed a roundtable, and the meeting started off slow, but gradually gained momentum, and everyone's collaboration flourished unlike ever before. It was a real think tank. It was both encouraging and exhilarating. As a result, once we all agreed on where to steer the project and ironed out all the details, we worked together as one until the end and, as a group, delivered amazing work. In the end, nothing but cheers and pats on the back. Then, we all went out for drinks afterward, and it turned into quite a party. It was Friday night going into the weekend, and we all couldn't wait for Monday morning to come."

Your interviewer wants to assess how similarly your concept of teamwork and collaboration aligns with theirs. Many of those they employ are professionals who are rising stars in their field. So you'll be expected to hold your own while collaborating with their top-tier talent. Meta is known for recruiting those who prioritize the needs of Meta and the needs of their teams over their own needs, or over advancing their own professional gains over Meta's, or the team's. This again circles back to their core value, "Meta, metamates, me. We are stewards of our company and our mission. We have a sense of responsibility for our collective success and to each other as teammates. It's about taking care of our company and each other."

Kevin Downey

Meta's culture centers on teamwork and collaboration. Many of their employees describe their culture as having a think tank energy to it. On the company's career website, they describe part of their mission as empowering people to connect with each other, build community, and do work that is meaningful. "The work we do at Meta brings billions of people closer to what they care about. The relationships here don't just happen on their own. They are built by committed leaders who are up for the challenge. Help shape the future at Meta."

During the peak of the COVID & economic crisis last year, we lost a lot of clients. We urgently needed to win back a big client for the survival of our office. We all worked tirelessly day and night on a new client pitch, and the great ideas from our collaboration won us that new client, putting our company back on track.

Stephanie's Feedback

This is a great example of collaboration and was clearly a big win for your office.

I'd like to mention the flights' project, where the collaboration across the project team, learning and development team, and product team was the key to our well-praised success. Despite the extremely ambiguous context we were in, we constantly communicated with one another, sharing information in a transparent manner and drawing out ideas from one another constantly and applied to our output. Functioning as one big team in this way was the best possible way to work.

Stephanie's Feedback

This is a great start, but the response left me asking, "Then what?" I suggest adding in a closing sentence that explains the impact that your collaboration had and how your project turned out as a result.
