What kind of work environment do you like best?

Maybe you love working alone … but if the job you’re interviewing for is in a call center, that answer will do you no good.

So take a step back and think about the job you’re applying for and the company’s culture. If a flexible schedule is important to you, but the company doesn’t offer one, focus on something else. If you like constant direction and support and the company expects employees to self-manage, focus on something else.

A good approach is to present yourself as someone flexable i.e someone who enjoys working in a team but can also work independently and unsupervised.

Find ways to highlight how the company’s environment will work well for you.
