Which do you prefer, working alone or as a member of a team?

That's depends. If I should finish some work by my self, I'll do it but I am a member of a project team, I' ll cooperate with the coworkers as a member. When I was a student, I belong to a baseball club. Thus, I can work with others friendly.

1. No need for 's. "depend' is a verb here.
2. You need the conditional conjunction here.
3, In order to avoid repeating the same words within a sentence, I offered this word.
4. You need the past simple, given that you are talking about the past.
Sounds about right. Being able to work with others well is a good social skill. Can you give some advantages and disadvantages of working in a team?

There is some advantages to work in a team. For example, we can produce much bigger project and we have a chance to find better idea than by myself. However, if many of them have a different idea, we have to spend a lot of time to compromise for it. As a result, it took quite a lot of time to put it into practice.

However, if many of them have a different idea, we have to spend a lot of time to compromise. As a result, it takes quite a lot of time to put it into practice.

1. Plural needed! (advantages)
2. This structure is more correct.
3. "better" includes the meaning of the removed part. Not always a full comparison is needed.
4. I removed unnecessary words.
5. The present simple tense needed - you are talking in general.
I agree with you on those points you mentioned above. The team must have a good leader to control the deadline and work flow to accomplish many things. How about in your workplace? Do you usually work in a team or alone?

Most of the time I work in a team and ask my colleagues to do the work well. As an area manager, I put importance on making good atmosphere in the workplace. I try to communicate with them directly and listen to their ideas carefully. I believe that this helps to get good results in a team.

1. This word works a bit better in terms of natural choice.
You seem to be a kind of person we are looking for. We also expect our employees to go on at least 2 business trips every month. Is that OK with you?

I'm single and live by myself, so there aren't any problem to go everywhere not only a business trip but also transferring, especially to go to foreign countries. I like going abroad by myself very much so I'm used to having trouble in foreign countries. Thus, I can work well everywhere.

1. Those two words are not necessary but expected!
2. The correct form.
3. I believe 'anywhere" sounds a bit better cause you probably wanted to say 'any given destination".
That's good to know. We have branches in over 50 countries. Is there a specific country you would prefer to work in? Tell me why you would prefer working in that country?

I would like to work in the country where the market is developing. It is because it will happen many unbelievable things in the competition. Moreover, in such a market, I will have to decide many things at once. I like challenging very much and it will make me tough much earlier than I work in the developed market.

1. "A" needed, meaning 'some/any".
2. This is the right place for the verb in this sentence.
3. This is the correct form of the verb - you need a gerund here.
