Would you like to work in a team or on your own?

Would you like to work in a team or on your own?

The agenda behind this question is to understand if you are a team player or a solo performer. It might be risky to choose any one of them as the role for which they are considering you might need you to be a team player but the career progression which they might consider for you down a year’s time may need you to handle a more autonomous position. It is better to answer this question by saying that “I don’t have any such preference. I can comfortably handle both the situations, as the need arises.” Now back it up with examples where you successfully worked in a team and where you performed an autonomous role.

I would definitely like to work in a team. It helps to learn new things, explore new people, exchange ideas etc.
If your last boss was present here, what do you think he would tell us about you?
This is again a question which can be answered in two ways.......
Has your career developed as you had liked?
The agenda behind this question is to understand if there had been times of dip in your career......
Your expected salary?
Don't jump at a figure when you are asked this question during the personal interview.......

Are you comfortable working in a team?
Yes, I’m comfortable working in team. Though I’m self-reliant, I can easily blend into a team and have no inhibition about being cooperative. I’m aware that the greatest of feats have been established by team work and working in a team would only encourage us to perform better.
