How well do you work on a team?
While some of your job duties as a healthcare professional in behavioral health will be working independently, most of the time, you will be collaborating with other members of the team. The interviewer wants to hear that you are a team player and can work well with diverse groups.
If you have experience working in behavioral health or other healthcare positions, describe how well you have worked on a team in the past. If you are new to this field, use an experience from a former job, sports team, or school to describe how you work well with others.
"I enjoy working with others and do so very well. I like taking a team approach to healthcare and involving family members, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to develop the best treatment plan for each patient. I believe a team approach accomplishes greater things than working alone, as we can all learn from each other's experiences."

Very well! In fact, I am more productive and creative in a team environment with feedback and shared goals than working on my own.
