The answer is YES. This is an open-ended question, given so you may talk about your teamwork skills. Teamwork skills include listening, discussing, questioning, persuading, respecting, helping, sharing, participating, and ability to utilize all communication channels.

So, you answer “yes,” and give examples. When you give examples to support your team players status, they need to be specific:

• You’ve assisted folks who needed help
• You’ve helped co-workers get projects completed in time
• You’ve helped someone think strategically about problems or issues

You’ll notice that all those examples speak to your skills-as someone who gets things done, as someone who thinks strategically, and as a resource (or a go-to person).
