QUESTION 28 OF 30

When entering a new job, describe how you build relationships with your new coworkers and managers.

The restaurant industry usually has a tight-knit employee culture so; the interviewer would like to know how you plan to start relationships with your new co-workers. Due to a wide variety of personalities, coworker connections can take time to form. How do you ensure that you have a strong line of communication with your co-workers and managers, right from the start?

Here are some ideas for getting started on the right foot:

- Be willing to accept feedback and help
- Offer to assist in some way
- Do not have an air of entitlement or act as though you know the ins and outs immediately
- Avoid all company gossip, at all cost
- Be early on your first day (and every day after that!)
- Come dressed appropriately

"I understand that some relationships come quickly and others take time to nurture. When starting a new job all that I can do is be my true self and let my personality, integrity, and reliability speak for itself."

"I understand that people like to talk about themselves. The best way that I can create new relationships with others is by asking them about themselves. Hopefully, we find common ground and make a quick connection!"
