This question tests your ability to step outside of your comfort zone and work in a cross-functional setting, liaising with other teams, particularly technical teams or teams outside your area of expertise. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with Square's approach and philosophy. "We believe everyone should have an opportunity to thrive, and not be left out because the cost is too great or the technology too complex." While you don't need to be an expert in their work, you should feel comfortable collaborating with these groups while exhibiting that you are a quick study.

"I am a quick study. I ask a lot of questions and consider myself an excellent communicator. If there is no one to answer a question for me, I will look it up until I am sure I get it and have all the answers I need to continue. This is well within my comfort zone, and I am ready and willing to liaise with anyone in any department. I require very little hand-holding and can get up to speed faster than most."

Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.
"As someone who's been in the tech industry my entire career, I feel confident in my ability to communicate with team members in more technical roles. I found this to be a challenge when I started in business development, but I did my best to ask questions and read articles and books that helped me pick up this 'language.' Now, it's second nature. In my current position, I work with a team of software engineers to support the implementation of bug fixes, and I look forward to continuing this interdepartmental teamwork with a team at Square."
