QUESTION 13 OF 24

Tell me about a time when you had to assist a coworker.

The best way to answer this question is by telling the interviewer a story. You should start with explaining the overall situation: tell them about the project/task, what your coworker's responsibilities were, what they were having trouble with/needed assistance with, how you helped them (specifically) and the result/outcome of your collaborative work. It is important to show the interviewer that your assistance contributed to the success and/or completion of the task/project.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

Some of our team members are not familiar with some of the markets or balance sheet confirmations. From time to time when they receive such requests, I will help them understand them. With my help, they are able to respond to queries on time and get positive feedback from their clients.

Cindy's Feedback

This is a good example. To help expand, you may want to make your answer in the STAR format. Talk about a situation when one of your team was unfamiliar with a market. What was your task in this situation? What did you help him or her with? What action did you take and what was the end result? This kind of detail helps the interviewer envision your teamwork clearly.
