I don't know of a way to demonstrate this; other than I asking my references to comment on this in their letters. I'm adding this because I've seen this be the most important characteristic I would look for if I were hiring people. I've worked with MANY employees who have the knowledge and skills needed for a particular job, yet are unproductive because they: 1) fight with others, 2) refuse to help others; 3) fight with & refuse to help CUSTOMERS! 4) would rather complain about everything rather than find a solution.
I have a "laid back" personality. I can honestly say I "get along" with almost everyone I work with, including our customers (insurance agents at the present time). I treat my fellow employees with respect, whether they are secretaries, file room workers, or supervisors.
I believe a complaint about something should be made only accompanied by a suggestion of how the situation would work better.
I've spent A LOT of time helping fellow employees use their PCs since I'm more experienced than most of them. This isn't part of my "job description" but it I recognize it helps our overall operation.
