      Most of the time. I get on really well with my team and I think that working as a team to a common goal can be better as we all have different skills, experiences etc. However there are days when I just need to crack on and get stuff done and I’m not very good at saying no to people so I end up helping out my colleagues instead of doing what I need to do. But that’s ok, because they probably feel the same way too 🙂

      Most of the time I get along with my team members, but there are times when I don’t. This is usually when we have a clash of ideas or opinions on how best to do something which ends up in a long debate, but we never argue or fall out as that would be unprofessional.

      There are always times when you might not get on as well with one team member as you do with the others but you always have to be professional about it in order to get the job done.

      I do get along with my team members on most days.
      There are some occasions, as Sarah mentioned, where you can have a difference in opinion. Most people I’ve worked with have been really professional though, which means there’s no rudeness, name-calling or anything like that. Even disagreements tend to be very polite and logical!
