The interviewer would like to know how you plan to start relationships with your new co-workers and leaders. Due to a wide variety of personalities, coworker connections can take time to form. Discuss the action steps you take to ensure that you have an active communication line with your co-workers, team, and management right from the start.
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
- Ask meaningful questions as a way to make connections
- Be early on your first day (and every day after that!)
- Come to work dressed appropriately

"As a people-focused professional, I understand that some relationships come quickly and others take time to nurture. When starting a new job, I am my true self and let my personality, integrity, and reliability speak for themselves. I also understand that people like to talk about their lives. I can create new relationships with others by asking them about their life, interests, and accomplishments. From there, we can find common ground and make a lasting connection."
