The interviewers want to hear that you are a team player and can work well with diverse groups. Most of the jobs at the NHS require colleagues to work together to achieve a common goal. Describe how well you have collaborated with others in the past. If you are new to this industry, use an experience from a former job, sports team, or school to describe how you work well with others.

"I enjoy working with others and do so very well. I like taking a team approach to healthcare and involving family members, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to develop the best treatment plan for each patient. A team approach accomplishes more than working alone, as we can all learn from each other's experiences. While I can work independently and am a self-starter, I prefer working as part of a team."

"I'm a very flexible individual contributor in the sense that I can work well independently with little supervision, or I can be successful as part of a dynamic team. I enjoy working with others, I'm coachable and open to feedback, and I'm always willing to support others when they need assistance. I like to take on stretch projects, so I enjoy networking and connecting with others in various departments so that I can learn new skills and continue to develop as a professional."
