1. When it comes to tech and tools at work, what's your style?

I love using the newest stuff. It's exciting to work with the latest tech.

I prefer using what I already know well.

I can adapt to either. I'll use new tech if the job needs it or stick with familiar tools if that works best.

I'm open to trying new things, but I've got to admit, I'm more comfortable with the tools I already know.

2. What's your approach to building relationships with colleagues?

I maintain a friendly but professional distance in my interactions.

I enjoy casual chats and participate in team events when I can.

I focus on listening and empathy, and I enjoy getting to know my colleagues better.

I prioritize my work performance over relationship building.

None

3. What's your preferred style for communication and working with others?

I value face-to-face interactions for important meetings - they often spark new ideas. I prefer a combination of remote work and onsite work, for routine tasks, I'm comfortable working remotely.

I prefer digital communication channels. I find remote work allows for efficient task completion with fewer distractions.

I'm flexible and can adapt to either in-person or remote work styles depending on what's needed.

I strongly believe in the power of being on-site. The energy of the office, impromptu brainstorming sessions, and face-to-face teamwork are essential for me. Nothing beats collaborating in person.

4. How do you deal with work that's always changing and requires quick adaptation?

To be honest, I'm more comfortable with stability. Constant change can be a bit of a challenge for me.

I actually enjoy it when things are dynamic. Adapting to new situations keeps me engaged and motivated.

I'm pretty flexible. Whether things are changing or staying the same, I can usually adapt well.

I try to stay positive and keep learning. Keeping my skills sharp helps me handle whatever comes my way.

5. When you're making decisions, how do you usually figure out if the info you're using is truthful?

Go with your gut. If it feels right and fits what you already think, you're good.

Trust big names but verify. Use info from well-known sources and experts, then fact-check key points.

Dig a little deeper. Look at different sources, consider biases, and think about who's saying what and why. Gets you the full picture.

Keep it simple, but smart. Use what's easy to find, double-check anything major if it's a big decision.

6. A client you've known for ages needs your help right away. At the same time, your teammate also asks for a hand with something important. How would you handle these two?

I'd take care of the client's problem first, but I'd tell my colleague, "Hey, I understand this is important to you, I'll help you out as soon as I'm done with this client thing, okay?"

I'd tell them both, "I'll do my best to help you quickly!" Then I'd try to juggle the two tasks, hoping to get them both done fast.

I'd focus on the client's urgent request. I'd tell my colleague, "Sorry, I've got bigger priorities right now. Your task will have to wait until I'm free."

I’ll help my client. Colleague and I don’t even work in the same department, so let her figure it out herself.

7. So, you've just had this awesome idea that could make things run smoother at work. What's your next move?

I'd just go ahead and make it happen. Why wait, right?

I'd run it by the team lead first to get their take on it. Then, I'd bring it up at our next team meeting to share the idea with everyone and see what they think.

I'll keep it to myself because it means additional work for me.

I'd chat together with my colleagues and the Team lead about it. We could brainstorm how to make it even better and figure out how to put it into action.

8. Picture this: your work got some feedback that's not all sunshine and rainbows. What did you do?

I felt hurt, it was difficult for me to accept the feedback because I doubted the intentions.

I was initially upset, but after sleeping on it, I realized there were some good points, and I tried to make some changes.

I tried to stay open-minded. There's usually something helpful in feedback, even if it's not all positive. I see it as a chance to improve.

If the feedback didn't seem useful, I tended to ignore it. Sometimes it just didn't seem relevant to me.

None

9. Sometimes we need to make compromises at work. How do you handle these situations?

I try to find a balance that keeps most people happy, even if I have to give up a bit of what I want.

I listen to everyone's ideas and make sure all voices are heard. Together, we usually come up with a plan that works well for the whole team.

I mainly look out for what I need to get done, even if not everyone's totally on board with it.

I'm pretty easy-going. Over a coffee, we usually figure out a way that works for everyone without too much stress.

None

10. How do you handle disagreements with your colleagues?

I see disagreements as chances for us to grow and learn from each other. I listen closely to my colleague's thoughts, ask questions to understand better, then share my view in a friendly way.

I take the initiative to have a sincere, one-on-one conversation. It might feel a bit awkward at first, but I believe in addressing issues head-on to build stronger working relationships.

To be honest, I get a bit uncomfortable and tend to keep my distance from that colleague until things blow over.

If we're really stuck, I suggest bringing in someone we both trust to help us sort through our differences and find a fair solution

None

11. You're teaming up with a colleague on a project, but their way of working is pretty different from yours. What's your approach?

I'd try to match their style and speed. Go with the flow, you know?

I'd keep doing things my way at my own pace. That's what works for me.

I'd have a chat with them to find a middle ground that works for both of us.

I'd rather not work with them if I can’t help it.
