"Daily. Frequently, I worked with other departments to meet my client's needs. I see it as part of my approach to customer service. They want their needs to be met, so I don't expect them to navigate our company systems and jump through hoops that I can bound through with little effort and in a fraction of the time. Just make it easier on them. Besides, in the grand scheme of things, this approach makes my job less difficult. I always look at whatever work there is to be done as water. Give it the path of least resistance to flow, and things will run more smoothly."

Working on projects with teams from another department isn't all that uncommon in larger companies. This question aims to elicit a response that will be as telling as the words you choose. It aims to reveal the depth of your work experience and comfort level. Your ability to work with cross-functional teams will prove beneficial and can tip the scales toward a second interview. Talk up any challenges that you've faced in a cross-functional setting, and relay how you overcame them. It's okay to show pride in your work as long as you remain humble, and showcase your expertise and what you learned from the experience. If you haven't much experience in this regard, do your research, and talk up your knowledge while communicating how you look forward to the opportunity to accomplish such a career milestone.
