Editor Interview Question:

Tell me an example of when you have worked as part of a team to get something done?

Submitted by: Muhammad

In my last two interviews I never spoke about my experiences of working a part-time job at Costa Coffee, because I didn't think they were relevant.

In my last interview, however, I was encouraged to talk about it and it enabled me to find the perfect example of working as a team whilst under a lot of pressure.

If you have an example of working as part of a team in a newsroom then use it, but if you don't, think about the time when you ran the student newspaper or when you were at work and had to make 10,000 lattes in a day, whilst showing the new person what to do and talking to the customers at the same time.
