Anytime you hear questions in that form, "Tell us about a time when..." you are in a Behavioral type interview and the interviewer(s) are looking for a specific story from start to finish to exemplify your qualities. Do NOT use vague examples like: I always got the most sales.

Q. "Tell us about the last time you were the best at something."
A. Last month the clothing store that I worked at had a sales competition to promote a new line of watches. Out of 15 other employees, I had the most sales with 16 in one month. In order to do this I did some extra research on the watches and was able to identify and point out all the features to the customers as well as successfully and completely answer any questions they had about the watch. For making the most sales the company actually gave me one of the watches so it was really worth all the hard work.

Get the idea?? You will really have to take some time and think back to all of your experiences that will exemplify your greatest strengths. Good luck!

1) Did you win any awards, "best ..." or "employee of the month"? How did you earn them?
If no awards then how about a time that you supervisor really went above and beyond thanking you for a job well done?
Or explain a time that you helped a customer and they were really happy. Especially if they were a difficult customer, but they left happy.

2) The team is really another way of saying your co-workers. When you and your co-workers, working together accomplish the most. Maybe you all pitched in to help each other out when somebody needed some time off. Maybe you helped each other out when dealing with difficult customers. Maybe, you were able to brainstorm to find way to improve the service.

Just some ideas.

We had an irate customer come in, I took the time to listen, sympathized with then until they calmed down and then worked with them until we had a solution, they actually thanked me for taking the time to help them, listening and understanding and left happy, and returned often always looking for me to ask their questions (yes this really happened to me)
Have had many good teams, a good team is just people working together for the betterment of the company. Building good teams is all about communication and not letting one;s ego get in the way

be positive all the time. and all your answers should be positive too. for example: if they ask:what is your bad attitude: you should answer: i am too honnest

In retail : turn an angry customer to a loyal customer.
Team work: work on marketing or advertsing. It is fun because you should know your products very well and your customers also, and we learn a lot from it.
