"One thing I have learned through my many years as a border patrol officer is that it never helps to bring an ego to work. I am happy to work harmoniously with everyone on the team. My references will also attest that I am easy to approach and get along with."

If you are new to the field and have not worked with border patrol officers before, focus on letting the interviewer know and give an example of how you worked with previous coworkers. If you have maintained healthy work relationships in the past, the interviewer can determine if you will be a good fit for their team.

I generally get along with those that I work with splendidly. Some people are more difficult than others to get along with; therefore, I remain professional and polite regardless of how they might behave.
