Have you ever worked in a cross-functional environment?
"My current company is pretty flat, as it's a family owned business with a few A/R clerks like myself. I can certainly see how a cross-functional environment would be helpful when it comes to having different team members with varying levels of expertise."
If you work for a larger company, you may have been asked to work on a project with teams from another department. Your ability to work with cross-functional teams will be a significant asset to your potential employer, especially if they are a larger organization. Maybe you headed a collections project which required you to collaborate with the members of the accounting and sales teams. Share any challenges that came up and what you learned from the experience.
"Yes, I have indeed worked in many cross-functional environments. Currently, I lead the A/R team and collaborate with the sales folks very regularly. We all work well together to ensure customer satisfaction and prompt payment with reasonable terms."
