Show your confidence to your interviewer by explaining your willingness to be part of the team and not being afraid to pick up the slack when needed, but make sure you don't allow someone to take advantage of you.

"I will always choose to be a team player. If I had a co-worker call in sick, I would take over what I was capable. The only time I would draw the line would be if I felt I was being taken advantage of. For example, if they were purposefully being inefficient and expecting me to pick up the slack. For the sake of the company, I am always willing to go above and beyond what is expected of me."

I am a huge team player. I would most definitely take the role of what is needed to be done to achieve our results. The only time I would draw the line would be is when I feel like I am taking advantage "” for example, seeing them slacking off or showing no motivation.

Very well said! You show the interviewer that you can happily jump in when needed, but that you also hold your team/coworkers accountable.
