"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. For medical ordering and inventory, I have used various software and programs such as ABC and XYZ."

"Yes. I used to do this in my former position. I was responsible for maintaining supplies in the general surgery ward for five years. It was great working behind the scenes with the result being efficiency for others."

If you have been tasked with administrative duties in the past, describe your experience. If you have not been required to maintain inventory or order medical supplies, show your willingness to learn.
