      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      Working collaboratively as part of a team is important in the workplace. Companies and schools value people who can work together. They want to hear that you are a great thought partner and easy to work with. They want to know what you contribute to a team. Take this as another opportunity to share your skills and strengths with the interviewer.
