It is essential to nurture workplace relationships. Talk to the interviewer about how you plan to earn the trust of your colleagues should you be matched with the residency. Focus on giving examples from your past. Describe how you earned the trust of your classmates and colleagues by getting to know them and their families, keeping your word when you say you are going to do something, lending a hand when others need help, or covering a coworker's shift when they have a family emergency.

"I feel the best way to earn the trust of my colleagues is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles. Additionally, getting to know my colleagues on a personal level and never being one to gossip helps earn trust."
