Suggested Approach

Acknowledge any known individuals professionally, but pivot to emphasize your broad collaboration and adaptability across teams. Avoid name-dropping or implying reliance on specific connections; instead, highlight your ability to work effectively with anyone.

Pro tip: If you don't know the names, be honest but redirect to your experience building relationships quickly. If you do, mention them briefly but focus on the value you bring to the team, not the connection itself.

3. Show Adaptability

Explain how you quickly build rapport and work effectively with anyone, demonstrating comfort with ambiguity.
