Job Interview Questions and Answers

Question 23:  Do you work better alone or as part of a team? 

If the position you're applying for requires you to spend lots of time alone, then of course, you should state that you like to work alone and vice versa.   Never sound too extreme one way or another.  Don't say that you hate people and would "die if you had to work with others" and don't state that you "will go crazy if you're left alone for five minutes".  A healthy balance between the two is always the best choice.  If you have previous experience illustrating the fact that you can work alone or with others, then offer it.  For example, you might state that in your previous job you spent a significant amount of time alone while traveling, or that you have learned how to get alone well with people in the workplace by working on numerous team projects.
