QUESTION 1 OF 30

Tell me about your experience collaborating with marketing, sales, editorial, and design teams.

The hiring authority is looking for details on your experience when it comes to cross-departmental collaboration. In publishing, it takes many passes through many hands to complete a project so, it's essential to HarperCollins that you can work well with other people through a variety of departments. Give an example of how you collaborate with a diverse team, in your current role.

"In my current role we have a staff of 450 people within ten departments. Any given week, I will collaborate with marketing, sales, human resources, and IT. These are the departments with which I collaborate most often. I believe that everyone has a great deal of value to offer so, for that reason, I embrace every opportunity to collaborate cross-departmentally."
