James McMechan has over 30 years of management experience, primarily in the hospitality and auto industries. He has interviewed hundreds of applicants and trained effective and engaged employees.

Hotels have multiple departments including Housekeeping, Front Desk, Food and Beverage just to name a few. The interviewer knows that you will be required to work with employees and supervisors from other departments on a daily basis. The hiring manager needs to know that you can get along with others, put any departmental agendas aside and meet the needs of the guest. Reassure the interviewer that you recognize the importance of working well with others. Talk to the interviewer about the experience you have working cross-departmentally. If possible, give an example of how you diverted a crisis or gave excellent customer service, by actively collaborating with the team members of another department.

"In my current role, I work alongside the Human Resources and Accounting departments on a nearly daily basis. When I need to hire a new team member, my Front Office department holds a meeting with HR and Accounting to determine the budget, timeline, and process. Positive cross-collaboration is critical to the success of a hotel operation as it takes all of these specialties to make a business run effectively."
