Tell me about a time you worked collaboratively with different teams or departments to solve a problem.
Companies want to hire people who are team players and enjoy working collaboratively to solve problems. This is a great opportunity to show off your ability to work with a variety of people to produce great work. If you took on a leadership role at any time, that would be a great thing to share to demonstrate your leadership capabilities. Share about a positive experience you had working with another team or department and what the outcome of the experience was.
"In my previous role with a drug store, I worked with the Implementation department on a renovation project in few stores in a specific region. Not only did I have to arrange for our usual vendors to continue to deliver products, but I also had to procure new vendors to complete the construction and labor. I worked closely with Implementation to determine a budget, identify the necessary labor, craft contracts that reflected those priorities. We held weekly meetings to ensure we were all on the same page and remained on time and under budget. In the end, the project ended up a huge success and we created a model for how to successfully complete similar projects in other regions."
