Tell me about one of the most rewarding experiences you had working on a team.
The interviewer wants to hear that you feel accomplished through teamwork and make a positive impact on a group goal. Your answer to this question will give the interviewer insight into what kind of a team player they can expect you to be with Paycom.
"The most rewarding teamwork experience that I have had was in my last year of university. We were assigned a project in teams of four which accounted for quite a large part of our grade. A lot was at stake, but we developed an organized system for dividing up tasks. Through regular communication and check-ins, everyone pulled their weight and we ended up with a high grade on the project."
"I worked on a team project this past year that ended up being quite rewarding. It was a long-term project that supported a client's philanthropic endeavors. It was a great experience as I felt that the work we were doing was meaningful and the three team members I collaborated with were engaged, hardworking, and each individual brought their own expertise to the table. We supported the client in meeting their fundraising goal."
Talk about a time when your concrete contributions in a team setting or project collaboration led to a rewarding outcome. You might discuss a client project you led that helped fulfill a key need for a client. If you are early on in your career, you might discuss a group project you worked on in college or an extracurricular group that you made a meaningful contribution to. No matter what, ensure your explanation is results-focused.
