Human beings are very social creatures or so
they say. In almost all interviews your characteristics towards a group or team
environment will be called upon once or twice. Some few questions may lead
towards the way you behave towards a team. So the big question is, ‘how do you
behave around a team?’ This is not only applicable to those in the job market
already but also to fresh job seekers at entry level. Back in college or
university, there were group assignments and believe me, this will be very
important.
In your CV, what will you list as your
achievements especially if you came straight from college? What will you cite
as an example of where you demonstrated that you can work with others? In
almost every position you will find yourself, you will face a social
environment. Even a programmer who sits in front of the computer most of the
time is usually required to work within a team. How do you respond to this
environment? If this question comes up in an interview, how will you respond?
