If we asked, how do you believe your current coworkers would describe you?
Team players are essential to any organization, and hiring managers work diligently during interview processes to see what kind of team player they'd be getting in a candidate. A question like this is asked in an effort for candidates to speak from the perspective of their closest colleagues and what they would say to describe the candidate.
As you answer this question, try to speak from the standpoint of what Philips Healthcare is looking for in a candidate. If you read the section of their culture site where they discuss the qualities they expect from staff every day, some common themes come through. These include active engagement in work, a customer focus, a high degree of integrity, being a team player, and being accountable for your actions. If you can speak directly to the feedback you've received from others, you will win over your interviewer.
"I've always prided myself on being a collaborative, respectful, and loyal colleague to all my teammates throughout my career, and these qualities are consistently highlighted in my past performance reviews. My current team has praised me for my leadership skills and my overall engagement in the projects we take on. I'm very excited for the opportunity to bring these qualities to your team at Philips Healthcare."
