Building rapport in a new workplace
Question
When you start a new job, how do you go about building relationships with colleagues?
Short answer
Describe a proactive, practical approach. Mention learning how the team works, asking good questions, being reliable on small tasks, offering help, and making time for informal contact; a brief example from an internship helps. Trust in finance is built on dependability and responsiveness.
