      "I cannot put more of an emphasis on my particular work style. My work style includes well-planned and team-based. If I talk about well-planned as one of my working styles, I would say that I ensure that my following day is good to go before I leave work for the day. I like to come to work in the morning feeling organized and in control. My employer always welcomes this level of preparedness.
      I would also describe my working style as highly team-based. I always remember that my pace, quality of work, and outcome will always affect multiple people on my team. If I am unsure of the path to take on a project, I will consult with my team to ensure that my ideas align well with theirs."

      Kristine's Feedback

      This is a strong response! You provide the interviewer with two specific aspects of your work style. I reorganized and reworded your answer a bit for clarity.
      "My work style includes careful planning and acting as if I am a team member, not working on projects independently. For example, before leaving work for the day, I always ensure that I plan for the next day. I like arriving to work in the morning feeling organized and knowing what my top priorities are. My employer has always welcomed this level of preparedness. I also see myself as part of a team, remembering that my pace, quality of work, and outcome will affect multiple people on my team. If I am unsure of the path to take on a project, I consult with my team to ensure my ideas align with theirs."
