When have you demonstrated teamwork?

Teamwork

Teamwork questions show examiners how you work in a team. Veterinary practices are a team-oriented profession.

Teamwork is not just working in a team, it’s about:

• Dividing work equally.
• Communicating clearly.
• Listening to other perspectives.
• Being caring and supportive towards team members.

Use Your Own Experiences

• Why did it impact you?
• How did the team work well?
• What skills did you use?
• What was the group dynamic like?
• How did you cooperate, and how did it increase your confidence?
• How did your team members influence or support you?
