[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 246183, member: 42112"] Hey! First of all, congratulations on completing the TC interview!! I would say that your answer sounds strong! You directly addressed their concern and gave a clear workplace example, which is exactly what they are looking for. If I was to be super nitpicky (and these are more stylistic than substance-based), you could potentially refine it slightly by: [LIST] [*][B]Lead with reassurance:[/B] you could perhaps start with something like "although I manage my own caseload, none of my work is done in isolation...". This just helps clearly address their concerns at the beginning (but you have done so throughout the question, so this is a very minor point). [*][B]Focus on 1-2 strong examples: [/B]your use of examples is good, and the colleague sickness example is particularly persuasive! If you are short on time, you could probably cut down on the number of additional examples and focus on the stronger ones. [/LIST] Overall though, this is definitely not a weak answer as you showed collaboration, adaptability, and shared responsibility - all vital for effective teamwork! Try not to overthink it if you can - I'm sure it went better than you think! :) [/QUOTE]
