"As I've worked my way through college, my coworkers would describe me as a team player that is willing to help out where needed. I've seen more experience workers not be able to think outside of the box and not willing to help out people outside of their job duties or departments. I see the workplace as many people working towards one main goal and the thoughts and effort of everyone are important."

"If you were to talk to any of my current coworkers, a common theme that you would hear from them is my ability to train and educate my colleagues is above most others. I have mentored many young OT's through my career and in doing so, I have learned many things along the way myself from them. I love being able to help others become as successful as I have in a career as an OT."

Tell the interviewer about the positive working relationships you and your co-workers developed. The interviewer is not only trying to establish if you have the right skills and knowledge for the job but also how you interact with others. Think about the skills and characteristics your co-workers have that you are grateful for. Keep your answer positive.
