Land O Lakes has many different business units and many more job functions. In your role, you will be required to collaborate with and work alongside a variety of people with unique working styles and priorities. If you have worked for a larger organization in the past, you may bring a fair amount of cross-functional or cross-departmental experience. Your ability to work harmoniously across the board will be a great asset to Land O Lakes.

If you are newer to your career, try discussing a time when you had to collaborate on a group school project. You could also talk about a volunteer experience where you worked well with others towards one common goal.

"I have worked in a cross-functional setting for many years. In my current position, I often collaborate with human resources, finance, and marketing. I speak with at least five different stakeholders every single day. When operating in this type of environment, the most important factors are timely communication, clarity on expectations, and mutual respect."

"My current company is family-owned and operates pretty flat for the most part. I have worked in team environments while attending university. Group projects were always a welcome challenge because I enjoyed learning about everyone's strengths and then leveraging those to ensure smooth project delivery. I am prepared and ready to expand my career into a more diverse work environment that includes communication with a variety of stakeholders."
