The interviewer would like to see how you approach your networking. Your answer will speak to your personality and how strong your networking skills are. Ultimately, they want to know what you will bring to this position and how you approach your work. This question is an opportunity to highlight the aspects of your work style that have greatly benefited your work. If coworkers have borrowed and adapted aspects of your work style, be sure to focus on that as well. Emphasize your resourcefulness, flexibility, and adaptability in an ever-changing, demanding environment.
