Working Together interview questions

Behaviour interview questions for Working Together. Prepare STAR examples that show building positive relationships and collaborating to achieve shared goals.

Assessors look for: evidence that you collaborate, respect difference, share information and resolve friction.

Example questions

  • Tell us about a time you demonstrated Working Together.
  • Give an example of when you had to build relationships across teams.
  • Describe a situation where you shared information early and how you decided what to do.
  • Tell us about a time your approach to building positive relationships and collaborating to achieve shared goals did not go to plan.
  • How do you make sure your work shows evidence that you collaborate, respect difference, share information and resolve friction?

Answering well

  • Pick one example; do not leap between three stories.
  • Spend most of your time on Action.
  • End with a result and a brief reflection.
  • Do not confuse this behaviour with Leadership: Working Together is about collaboration, not directing others.
