29. We're looking for personable and well-connected individuals to join this team. How would you plan to build relationships with your team members at Standard Bank?
How to Answer
Your interviewer wants to hear that you will be proactive in getting to know your colleagues and fitting into Standard Bank's collaborative and diverse culture. Discuss how you have done this in the past and how you would do it if hired for this position. Talk about the value you place on building strong relationships with members of your team. It will be most beneficial for your answer to draw on specific experiences you have had building relationships with colleagues in previous positions.
Answer Example
"From my first day on the job, I would take the time to break the ice with my colleagues by setting up an individual meeting with each person. In the past, I've done these meetings over lunch or in an office where I've had questions prepared to get to know the person both personally and professionally. I want to ask my colleagues what they expect from me and what I can expect from them. I've found that these conversations help open doors for working with each other moving forward."
