"I've worked with several teams over my career. The biggest team I worked with was a team of one hundred and twenty people. We were handling an audit for a rather large international company. There were so many moving parts. It was like we were constantly in meetings to gather the information to present to the senior management so they could see what we needed or what was complete. It was stressful and everyone felt like they didn't know the complete story, but as we presented the information, it all came together."

Auditing is a team sport. You'll never be in it alone. You'll have supervisors, subordinates, and clients everywhere. It's essential that you can adjust to the various personalities you'll be working with and maintain a professional relationship no matter how stressful the situation may become.

If you struggle with this, then the suggestion would be to work on a reserved attitude. You never want to come off as unwilling to work with a client or vendor because of personality issues. That reflects poorly on you, rather than them, most of the time.

"I had a contract to work as a temp with nine other people. We sat in a conference room together for almost a year on this project. We shared birthdays and holidays even decorated this tiny little tree we named Tim. It was like a Charlie Brown Christmas. We grew very close and although the company only hired three of us, we stayed in contact with many of the others and made great friendships from of the experience."
