If I were to contact your current colleagues, how would they describe working with you?
One of UnitedHealth Group's core values is relationships, and they live this value each day by working together to collaborate for better outcomes for their members. The hiring manager needs to ensure that you will be a great team player, so they pose this question to you to get your honest assessment of how your colleagues would describe you. Be as honest as you can when answering this question, while pulling any direct feedback you've received throughout your career. To take your answer to the next level, try to reiterate how your work style will fit in nicely with the role and team you will be joining at UHG.
"I'm confident that the first thing they would say is that I always put the team first. I'm always willing to lend a helping hand, mentor others, and work for the greater good. My current director continues to thank me for my selflessness in my work. Second, they would also all say that I'm very fun to work with. I have a very positive attitude in my work and know this is important in this role at UnitedHealth Group because your members count on this positive and upbeat outlook in their care. Lastly, my current colleagues wouldn't hesitate to discuss my professionalism. I've submitted several references that are current colleagues and my current director. They're all very excited about this opportunity for me."
