Prior to even applying at Saint Vincent Hospital, you hopefully did your homework on the job to help determine what type of environment you will be working in and know if it's a match for you. Your interviewer wants to know if you have a preferred setting for working solo or as part of a larger team.

Talk to the interviewer about your preference when it comes to teamwork or working individually. Be sure to avoid pigeonholing yourself into one particular scenario (i.e., I only like to work by myself). You may work well without the need for much management or direction, or perhaps you are better driven in a collaborative and team-led environment. Either way, be honest with the interviewer about your preferences without leaning negatively either way.
