"Recruitment professionals love to talk so, when I first start at a new firm, I ask them about themselves and what makes them successful. This method nearly always opens up the floodgates, and I can make a fast connection."

The interviewer would like to know how you plan to start relationships with your new co-workers. Due to a wide variety of personalities, coworker connections can take time to form. Give specifics to your interviewer regarding the ways you ensure a strong line of communication with your researchers, junior associates, and leadership.
Here are some ideas for getting started on the right foot:
- Be willing to accept feedback and help
- Offer to join a committee or volunteer assistance in some way
- Do not have an air of entitlement or act as though you know the ins and outs immediately
- Avoid all company gossip, at all cost
- Be early on your first day (and every day after that!)
- Come dressed appropriately
