Hotels have multiple departments including Housekeeping, Front Office, Food and Beverage, and Human Resources, among others. The interviewer needs to assess whether you are capable of getting along well with others. Reassure the hiring manager of your willingness to be an effective team player. Share with them any experiences you might have had in a previous position when you were asked to support or work with another department. Be confident in your abilities.

"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."
