While much of your job duties as an SIU investigator will be working independently, there are times when you will be collaborating with other members of the investigative team and law enforcement. The interviewer wants to hear that you are a team player and can work well with diverse groups.

If you have experience working as an SIU investigator, describe how well you have collaborated with others in the past. If you are new to this field, use an experience from a former job, sports team, or school to describe how you work well with others.

Since the position requires you to work well with others, you want to avoid saying you do not collaborate well. If you show the interviewer that you will not be a team player or will have difficulty working with others, they will not hire you for the position.

"I collaborate very well with others. I think it helps when you have like-minded individuals working toward a common goal for investigations to flow smoothly. In my ten years of working as an SIU investigator, I have collaborated with law enforcement and other investigators and never had any issues. I like working independently, but also enjoy working with others and learning from their experience."
