Many agencies state they are looking for Fraud Investigators who are self-starters and can work independently from home. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with coworkers and law enforcement, agencies want investigators who can conduct independent research of claims, examine the evidence, interview victims, and question potential suspects. The interviewer asks this question to see that you can work independently and do not need to be closely supervised.

If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying that you require close supervision. The interviewer wants a Fraud Investigator who is comfortable working alone but knows when to ask a supervisor for assistance with an investigation.

"I am comfortable working independently. I have worked as a Fraud Investigator for ten years and have always worked alone, except for when I need to collaborate with law enforcement or other agencies. I work well in a team environment as well as from home. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills as an investigator. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor, I do not hesitate to ask them."
