It's all about teamwork here at Olive Garden: even though we have a common vision, we celebrate and embrace individual differences of opinion and experience. Teamwork is woven throughout the fabric of our family culture, and we strive to maximize our differences to create an environment where all of our team members can reach their greatest potential. Talk to the interviewer about whether you enjoy teamwork and describe some of the positive experiences you've had on teams in the past.

"I love the idea of working on a team. My job for the last few years has been extremely independent, which has been good in many ways, but I find the isolating nature of the work really difficult -- that's why I'm making a move into the restaurant industry. I do much better when I work on a team with people who are like-minded and share an enthusiasm for the work and the company."
