4. How would team members/colleagues describe you and your work?
How to Answer
Interviewers often ask this question to learn if you would fit well into their company's group dynamics. They want to gain a general sense of your personality and self-awareness. The way you relate to your coworkers can determine your ability to work as part of a team, fit in with the company culture and develop a professional network. It's important to spend time before the interview reflecting on how your coworkers perceive you and find ways to relate your personality traits to the job.
