Shift work can be tricky in the food and beverage industry. If someone leaves a mess or if they leave their work half finished and you don't know where to begin, you can waste valuable time scrambling to pick up the pieces. The Hershey Company doesn't want to waste any time during shift changes, because time is money. Give an example that demonstrates that you are mindful of such transitions. Showcase your strong communication skills, in both the verbal and written form. Effectively passing the torch from one team to another exhibits big-picture thinking, a propensity for going the extra mile, and the foresight and understanding as to how this will directly benefit you, and the increased likelihood they'll set your shift up for success for when you come back into work.

"When I worked as a merchandiser, I was part-time and shared the responsibilities with a team of four people. I took time to explain what I was working on to my co-workers whenever I had to end my shift in the middle of a project. I also left notes that were easy to understand and kept my workspace tidy."

"Strong scheduling is the most important factor in ensuring transitions are seamless. In addition to solid scheduling, is everyone's willingness to jump in and help when volumes are higher than average or when staff is shorter than expected."
