6. Do you like to work in teams or are you an individual achiever?
How to Answer
Tell the interviewer that you excel at both because you know it's part of the job. Tell the interviewer that you are an independent learner and you enjoy working as part of a care team while working one-on-one with patients. Tell the interviewer that a team approach provides the most comprehensive care for the client in every aspect, as no single provider can address all of the complex needs of many clients. This is why specialties"‹ exist and why they can be so valuable to a team, so it is important to mention that you very much enjoy being a part of it.

In the "Revised Answer" section, I have provided a suggestion for slightly re-writing this response.
"I thrive in a team environment, but I am also a strong individual achiever. I am skilled at assisting my clients in 1:1 settings and I feel very comfortable in this environment, but I also really value having a team member or two to discuss different processes and methods with. I enjoy being able to learn from my colleagues and provide support to them in return."
