The interviewer wants to know you are a team player. They want to know you are comfortable asking for help and that you can accomplish tasks working with other individuals on the team in various roles, including those similar to yours (for instance, working with part-time staff, office assistants, interns, volunteers, as well as leadership).

Explain to the interviewer that you are happy being part of a team and would ask for help if you needed it. Assure them that you are also happy to help your peers if they needed assistance.

Avoid coming off as a dictator. If you were a supervisor in a previous role, this is especially important. Do not say, "I have been a supervisor, so I have no problem delegating tasks." That is not part of an Insurance Assistant role and would make it seem as if you are "used to being the boss."

"If I am tasked with a project that is too much for me to handle, I would first ask my supervisor if they might help me by assigning some pieces of the project to others. If that is not possible, I would talk with my team members and ask them for help."
