“I am a great team player because I work hard to become knowledgeable in the field of my interest, and I also love to pass on my learning’s’. I don’t believe in relaying blame as it is a easy-way out. One of the teamwork aspects I enjoy is a good open discussion and giving likewise feedback and suggestions. I believe a successful team depends on the responsibilities that each and every member takes on, not just the ‘natural’ leader who emerges. Everyone brings something to the plate.”

The answer to this question is the same answer to, "do you want this job?"

The answer is YES. This is an open-ended question, given so you may talk about your teamwork skills. Teamwork skills include listening, discussing, questioning, persuading, respecting, helping, sharing, participating, and ability to utilize all communication channels. Offer one of two short 1-2 minute examples.

Being a teamplayer we have to be willing to compromise to be able to achieve an effective result. We need to adopt the culture differences and work around it. A positive outlook in working together irrespective of ancestral background will result productivity.

yes, I believe a teamplayer works with the other staff to make things run smooth. Being a teamplayer means listening to others ideas, criticisms and giving feedback when necessary, it also means assisting each other when necessary. when a place of employment has a good team and everyone acts as a teamplayer the work atmosphere is more enjoyable and the job of each employee runs much smoother. It is vital if you are working in an atmosphere that requires you to be a care giver to have a good team with a positive attitude.

This is one of the most stupid and trite questions of all time asked by people who do not have the wit to ask precise and pertinent questions about personal traits. I would give a job to anyone with the courage to point this out in an interview.

28. Yash - January 14 2010 (Answer ID: 4370)
Yes. I am a good team player.

Let me share an example from my previous organisation.One of my colleague was on a call with the irate customer She was not able to handle the customer as she was giving a standard reply to the customer that his pass card has already been ordered and will receive it in a couple of days. I understood the problem and asked her to keep the customer on hold. The customer wanted to visit our office and was arguing that he has still not received his pass card. I informed her that for the time being, she can sign him in when he comes to the office tomorrow and in the mean time she can check the status of the pass card whether it's ready or if it's in dispatch. I also told her that she can intimate the status of the card to him either by a return call or when he visits the office tomorrow. This way the customer and my team member both were very happy and I could prove that I am a good team player.
