The Cambridge Dictionary defines teamwork as 'the combined actions of a group of people working together effectively to achieve a goal.' As a nurse, you understand the importance of teamwork while working with other healthcare professionals on multidisciplinary teams. The interviewers ask your definition of teamwork to know how you view your team and what it means to work together. Your definition does not need to match the Cambridge Dictionary version, but you want to relay the value of working together to achieve a common goal. Explain how you would describe teamwork to someone who did not understand the word.

"My definition of teamwork is working together with others to achieve a common goal. I enjoy working with a team because everyone has a common goal, with different experiences and ideas for achieving it. Working on a multidisciplinary team in healthcare allows me to use my knowledge and experience while learning from others with different opinions, backgrounds, and ideas."
