      "Any negative or toxic work environment would be a bad environment for me. I think I'm just naturally a happy and positive person, so I wouldn't do very well in that work environment."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      It's wonderful that you are naturally happy and positive :) Any interviewer should be pleased to hear that. It would be great to finish your answer on a positive note. Perhaps you could discuss what type of work environment does work well for you. I've provided an example for you below.
