In asking this question during your interview, your interviewer will be looking to gauge both your critical thinking skills and how well you work as part of a larger team as a Corporate Trainer. When put in a position to create meaningful and impactful training programs for any group of employees, you should take no shame in enlisting the help of others. Employees, managers, and leaders can often provide the greatest insight into training needs and the best methods for delivering training. Before your interview, put some serious thought into how you decide to enlist the help of others in the work that you do. If necessary, don't hesitate to talk about a time or two that you sought input from another person or group of people to ensure that a training program was successful.

"Throughout my career, I've never been hesitant to reach out to others for their expertise on specific training that I am putting together. While I am an expert on effective training methods, I am not always an expert on the subjects that I train on. This is particularly true for very job-specific training. Take for example last year when I was tasked with providing training on new health insurance coverage laws to a group of billing staff and medical coders with my organization. Knowing this wasn't in my wheelhouse of expertise, I set a meeting with key leaders that could give me a good baseline of what the ultimate training goals were and a good place for me to start to begin hunting for relevant information on the training. While I did the legwork in putting the presentation together, it was vital for me to stay in contact with those leaders so they could have final input into the training. If hired as your next Corporate Trainer, I would look forward to partnering with all key leaders in creating great training programs for your staff."
