Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
The interviewers are looking for project support officers who are self-starters and can work independently. While working in a team environment is also required as you collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders on projects, the NHS is looking for professionals who are confident in their skills and feel comfortable working alone. The interviewers ask this question to see that you can work independently and not need to be closely supervised if hired.

"I am very comfortable working independently. I have worked as a project support officer for five years and have always been a self-starter. I work well in a team environment and independently, as this profession requires both. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills as a project support officer. If I have a question or require assistance from my supervisor or the project manager, I do not hesitate to ask them."

I have worked with little or no supervision in my present and past roles, however, I am also a team player and believe for a successful achievement of goals one had to collaborate and communicate for the best outcome, therefore I do not hesitate to ask questions or help if I am not sure about particular task or tasks.
