"I like to see myself not only as cross-functional when it comes to working with other departments in my company, but I also see myself as cross-industry-functional. Although my background is not in your precise industry, I have worked with many clients who worked with me and your industry in tandem, so I feel very familiar with the crossover. I consider myself a leader and a professional, and I work hard and do what I do well. So many of the core responsibilities are the same here, and I bring excellent transferable skills that qualify me for this position. These skills include my advanced abilities in Excel, my outstanding cold-calling abilities, as well as my proven background in team leadership. But, at the end of the day, my talents and skills revolve around helping people and making companies profitable."
