"From my first day on the job, I would take the time to break the ice with my colleagues by introducing myself and setting up an individual meeting with each person. In the past, I've done these meetings over lunch or in an office where I've had questions prepared for me to get to know the person both personally and professionally.

      2nd Answer Example

      "Being the new person on the job can be a very high anxiety time for some people, but I love the opportunity to break the ice with my coworkers by making that first contact. I think it's important to get to know each other on a personal level because we spend so much of our lives together in the workplace and I am a caring person that wants to know how last night's soccer game went for the kids. Beyond that first ice breaking conversation, my work relationships are then bonded through my work ethic and helping others on my team to show that I am a true team player."

      Amanda's Feedback

      Well done! Engaging with the team, showing interest, and asking questions is a good start for building trusting relationships. You can also share other strategies you'd use to show your team members that you are trustworthy and reliable such as showing respect to everyone, offering to help others when you're able, and following through to do what you say you'll do.
