★ Tell me about a time when you worked successfully as part of a team.

★ Describe a situation where you were successful in getting people to work together effectively.

★ Describe a time when a team member has annoyed you.

★ Tell me about a time when you have had to modify yourself (or a way you do something) to take into account someone else's views.

★ Tell me about a situation when you needed to offer constructive criticism to a friend or team member?

★ Describe a time when you were a member of a team and witnessed a conflict within the team. What did you do? What were the results? What could you have done better?
