Q

Tell me about a time when you participated in a team. What was your role?

A

I worked on my own for the most part in my internship.
One instance was when I was a tutor. We each focused in one subject matter, but would commonly collaborate to fill in gaps. We were all capable students, so no matter who came in, they would leave with the help they needed.
If you want to really go back in time, I was the captain of my cross country and track teams. **Comedic refrain
