Do these two sentences sound naturally (i,ii,iii,iv being synonyms)?


(i) I'm team oriented [ (ii) I enjoy working as part of a team or (iii) I'm good at working as part of a team or (iv) I work well with others.]
I have a past experience of collaborating with others. In my last job I used to collaborate with multiple departments to accomplish various projects and in general to get the job done.

Remember to put a space after every comma.

(i) I'm team-oriented [(ii) I enjoy working as part of a team or (iii) I'm good at working as part of a team or (iv) I work well with others].
I have a past experience of collaborating with others. In my last job, I used to collaborated with multiple departments to accomplish various projects. and in general to get the job done.
See above. You'll see all four of your suggested sentences in CVs. I'm not a CV expert but I have seen comments on this forum (from people who specialise in these things) that it's the kind of meaningless comment that appears so often that employers are a bit sick of them!

Using "past experience" is tautologous. You can't have experience in/of anything unless it was in the past. Also, "experience" in this context is uncountable so the article would have been incorrect anyway.

The final part about "get the job done" is pointless. You shouldn't have to point out that part of your job was getting the job done.

Please have a look at [
] (02:54-02:58). Does it strictly speaking mean that the woman makes two mistakes while saying "you want to highligh a past experience of collaborating"?
