Helping co-workers. - I answer a question

Hi everybody
I am still learning English and I still make mistakes. Could anybody help me and check my answer to the following question.

How did you help your coworkers at your previous job.

I always try to help my coworkers and I am always eager to help others with anything. There were many times at my previous job that I helped somebody else.

Some new workers often didn’t know how to do a particular task and I was always eager to help such a person. It was difficult at the beginning of the job to know everything about the system. The new workers had a lot of problems and questions, and they asked senior workers for help.

There were many times they asked for help, but now it is hard for me to remember all those things and situations. There were lots of such situations, but I can bring up one – somebody asked me for help with restoring a password of a customer.

Sometimes customers forgot their passwords and they wanted consultants to restore it. The procedure was quite difficult and the new workers didn’t know how to do this task. I was always eager to help. When I was a new worker I also had some problems with the system. I could then count on my co-workers and get the help from senior workers.

In was natural for me to help. I have never refused to help, but sometimes I was busy with a customer and I could not stop my conversation on the telephone, but if I had the time and opportunity I helped. In general it was natural for senior workers to help the new ones with anything, a system, or tasks they didn’t know how to do.

Here is how I would word it:
