I guess if I ever find myself in an interview I should have a few of those ready.
That's pretty much ALL you have to do. Use the S.T.A.R. method, talk about how you worked with ALL your resources (whether another pilot and/or ground personnel) to solve a problem and achieve a positive outcome.
H.R./interview people know that single seat/tactical jet is simply a different situation than multi crew.
They just care that the applicant is a team player and works well with others, etc. And as USMC pointed out, making the transition to multi crew environment will be easy and bringing the "I'm hear to learn" type of attitude. You already have a leg up on the leadership aspects.
