The interviewer would like to know if you understand what it takes to keep on top of ordering medical supplies and inventory. Assure the interviewer that you can foresee needs and take the appropriate action. Highlight your ability to be responsible when it comes to related administrative tasks.

"I have experience in ordering medical supplies and maintaining inventory. I fully understand that there is an art to being properly organized when it comes to the availability of supplies. I have used various software and programs such as ABC and XYZ for medical ordering and inventory. What software or programs does Austin Health use?"

"I performed a few administrative duties during my internship. I helped maintain supplies in the general surgery ward for five weeks. I was great at working behind the scenes, with the result being efficiency for others. I am interested in learning how to order supplies and other administrative duties required for the job. I pick up new things quickly, so I can assure you that I will need little supervision once I am trained on these duties."

If you have experience with any of these administrative duties, explain your role. If you do not have experience maintaining inventory, ordering medical supplies, or other administrative tasks, describe how you learn quickly and look forward to these new responsibilities.
