Describe an experience when you worked with others on a project

I had some very interesting working experiences when I worked with others on a project in my previous job. I worked in the accounting firm in Taipei, and my job is gonig to audit the company's financial reports and the accounting data. Teamwork is our basic working style. Therefore, I list one benefit and one negative aspect of working cooperatively.

The benefit is we can learn everything from our colleagues. We didn't have any distance between each other. We had to share the same responsibility and the working hours. In hence, we can discussed problems and find the solutions together. Most of time, no body would want to delay the time to go off duty, so we worked very hard everyday on the same project.

The negative aspect is that every kind of order you have to listen to the group leader. The working schedule and the working hours, everything is under his command. Once if the team leader don't have a very good time controlling ability. This team would work very hard to complete the whole project. Therefore, it is very important to choose a good team leader when you work within a team.

From that working period, I learned the most significant thing is how to treat your teammates. Everyone has his own personality, working style, and habits. So you can not expect everyone works the ways like yourself. You have to accept everything that is out of your expectations when you worked within a team. No matter how many persons are in this team, you have to learn how to show your respect to each other.
