Do you prefer to work in a team-based position or individually?

"I always give my best, whether doing an independent project or working in a team environment. I enjoy the camaraderie of working in a team, but I can also succeed in working autonomously. Our nursing team relies on consistent communication and teamwork in my current role, but I also have to work independently in my unit and make important decisions on my own."

"I prefer a team-based environment where I can use my leadership capabilities to better the great cause of the team. If hired to join MediClinic, my leadership skills would foster a team approach to patient care. That said, I can also succeed in the workplace and be relied upon to act and think independently in this role."

You want to assure the interviewer that you can work well on a team or independently. Working in healthcare typically takes a team approach, depending on the position. If you are interviewing for a job that requires you to work alone, you can answer that you prefer to work alone. If the role is a team-based position, you will lean more towards saying you like working on a team.
