Customer Service

I love to work in team because I learn lot from others, but if I have to work alone, then I am also fine. I enjoy working in both conditions -- I have no problems with either.
—Guest Suman kapoor

Both are Nice

Independent work sometimes seems desirable because you can manage your own time and also you have a chance to show all your talents and skills. Team work is different because you can learn from other people and learn some values and skills so you gain experience as well as learning to try to accept others' opinions.

I like both of them

Sometime i like to work on a team and sometimes I want to work independently.
—Guest thu

Both are better in different cases

If the team components are supportable then I will prefer to work in the team otherwise it is better to complete the the job by myself, because if time is wasted in achieving a particular job the team is meaningless.

No Man is an Island

I prefer working in team because I believe no man is an island, in a team you can learn from others as well as sharing ideas.
—Guest Lucky Masekwameng

Either Way

I don't mind being a part of a team or working independently. I think I am confident and believe in myself, whatever situation.

Working Independently

I prefer to work independently because when you work on a team all the compliments will be given to the team. there is no value given to your efforts, talent etc. If you work independently all your talents will be exposed.

With or Without a Team

T- together E-everyone A- achieves M-more Listen & value others opinion, then convey yr points. Interpersonal skills somtimes overlap with spoken communication skills. When others are treated with repect the feel understood & appreciated. To make their experience as positive as possible, then excellent interpersonal skills are essential.
—Guest Bernadette

Whatever the Position Requires

I am comfortable working as a member of a team and independently. Whatever my position requires, I'm comfortable with both.
—Guest David

I'm a Longer

I prefer tp work by myself because there Is always some type of drama going on. I love to work by myself. That is what I prefer. I do not have a problem working as a team, because I can work with anybody to tell you truth. With women there is always something going on. I am not a troublemaker .I really prefer to really work by myself.
—Guest Bernie

Working On a Team

Both because I learn more working in a team and when I'm working indrpendently I enjoy completing the work alone because it gives me pride with my work.
