How would your former colleagues describe your teamwork?
This question offers the interviewers insight as to how you view teamwork as well as how well you integrate and collaborate with others. Team cohesion is a big consideration for many employers, so your interviewers will want to understand how well you work with others and how your involvement is perceived by teammates. Consider the various roles a member of a team might have and where you fit - are you an outspoken leader, an examiner/inquirer, a doer, or something else?
"My former colleagues would likely describe me as a team member that listens and observes, seeks clarification, and then provides collaborative suggestions. I rarely start off sharing my ideas, because I like to synthesize what I hear from everyone in the group and try to offer collaborative solutions. I believe my former colleagues find me to be a fairly flexible team member, so I can move around based on what is most needed, whether it's leading a particular project, act on given directions, or support in some other way."
