Do you prefer working alone or in a group?

Answer 1

That sort of depends on the job you are going for, but for the most part be honest without being negative towards what you don't prefer to do.

I think an excellent employee needs to be good at both.

Try to learn as much as you can about the job. What does it involve on a day-to-day basis and how much will you need to work independently as opposed to collaborating with others?

For most jobs, you will need to do some combination of both. The interviewer will want to hear that you derive satisfaction from doing good work on your own and enjoy the opportunity to focus on tasks, while you also thrive in a team and benefit from the interaction with colleagues. It's no contradiction to enjoy both. Working as part of a team is essential sometimes. A group dynamic can be very productive and creative. You can bounce ideas off one another and learn from each other's experience. At other times you can be much more productive on your own.

The balance will depend very much on the job you're interviewing for.

Honestly, I hope, but you can hedge a little: "I like to work with a group, but have a part of the project that is my personal responsibility." Of course, if you are applying for a position as a lighthouse keeper, you definitely prefer to work alone. If you are going to Antarctica, you definitely want to be a team player.

Answer 2

Both working with others and being alone is worth for me although working alone is to complicated because nobody will supervise you anytime you need help but this is good,it is a challenging role.Thought I can learn without depending one's capability.

Working with others is building a strength to make to achieve the goal of a firm. There's a saying that "In Union There is a Strength".
