[QUOTE="futuretraineesolicitor, post: 99333, member: 4098"] Hello, guys. I hope you all are doing well. My apologies for another question around competency questions (I'm sure I'm overthinking these but I just want to be sure) but could you please help me in understanding what "When have you displayed teamwork?" is asking for? I think there are 2 interpretations to this. One is that the firm is looking for an instance wherein I was working with a team of let's say 5 members and we were all shooting for the same goal- just that all the 5 members had different roles and the goal required them to work with each other- think of maybe a due diligence section specifically on the finance issues of a company where all 5 members belong to the finance department and are working on different points that go into the DD section "Finance" My second interpretation is that you are a person whose job is to go around and work with different teams as a solo player. What I mean is, let's say you are in the M&A department and your role is to co-ordinate the deal - so one day you ask for progress from the Finance team, another day you ask for cost estimates from another team etc. (basically you liaise across all the different teams that are out there) Just wanted to ask, which one of these interpretations is correct? Or is either fine because it's just about collaboration at the end of the day? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
