"In my current position, I collaborate with our offices in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, and Finland. It was a struggle at first to remember what day and time others were working in; however, I now have a great desktop application that tracks this for me. I know the time of day is important to consider when dealing with customers on a global scale. I am not opposed to working outside of business hours if I need to communicate with a client across the globe. Other than cultural differences and how the time of day affects their psychology, I'd be interested to learn what other elements come into consideration when dealing with customers on this scale."

This question is about more than work experience. Employees' moods may vary depending on the time of day. Additionally, there are cultural components to take into consideration as well, as Siemens is an international company. This question touches on your communication and customer service skills. Strong communication skills rely on seeking a deeper understanding and looking for clarification of anything you don't fully understand.
