If you were fortunate enough to join ICON plc, talk to the interviewer about how you plan to earn the trust of your new co-workers. There are many ways to do this and here are some ways to consider discussing:

- Show common courtesy. Say hello, hold the elevator door, and bring coffees now and then
- Be respectful in your communication, avoid over cc'ing unnecessarily in emails
- Avoid being a distraction and respect the use of their time
- Respect their personal space and the line between work life and personal life
- Always ask if they have time before diving into a conversation
- Try to find the answer to your questions before running to ask a manager or co-worker
- Connect with them on LinkedIn but avoid more personal social media platforms
- Treat everyone the same, regardless of their job title
- Do not complain about your job to your coworkers
- Reach out to new employees and make them feel comfortable
- Own up to your mistakes and fix them
- Be timely with your follow-ups and meet your deadlines

"If I were to be lucky enough to be able to join ICON plc, I would absolutely prioritize getting to know my team, building relationships with them, and gaining their trust from my first day on the job. My way of earning trust with anyone I work with is my word. I follow through on promises and commitments and openly communicate regularly with all of my colleagues. This same philosophy holds true for how I work with clients and external stakeholders."
