How would you define teamwork?
"I'd say true teamwork is supporting each other's strengths and helping each other grow. It's a feeling of camaraderie, where success is shared and the team effort experience unifies. When everyone looks forward to seeing and interacting with every teammate every day - that's what teamwork means to me."
Talk to the interviewer about the value you place on your working relationships and how you build trust and develop relationships with coworkers when you start a new job. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, the purpose of this question is to assess how well you work with others. Collaboration is integral to teamwork. The adage, "There is no 'I' in team," should be driven home in your answer. Promoting the strengths of your team members while never exploiting their weaknesses, treating the members of your team with dignity and respect, and recognizing and rewarding their efforts are all paramount.
