However, one practical topic, the recruiter wants to know if the candidate is prepared to seek assistance whenever they require it from sources beyond the urgent project team and stakeholders. While admitting total accountability for the successful project, project managers must additionally be willing to ask for help. Therefore, a candidate must be able to affirm their willingness to ask for some outside expertise and explain why they intend to be doing it and the expected outcome.  Answer this question by simply making it situational-based. Expect some cross-questions, but it is really the best way to explain this. Also, do include when and how the candidate did use the outside help. It is highly advisable to be very specific when they really use help from outside the organization and also explain if they really prefer it in the future or not. A sample answer to the question is given below for reference. Also, it is advisable to change it accordingly since it is not possible that it's well suited under every condition.  "Even the best-skilled project team members frequently need help coming from external sources. However, as soon as the help is appropriate and won't affect the project's deadline or finances, I'm not opposed to taking it on. I typically ask for assistance from somebody who might have the knowledge or capabilities that the project team lacks. I only ask for assistance when it becomes extremely important, and I make doubly sure the recipient knows it is a one-time request and that I am prepared to repay the favor in the future."
