At XPO Logistics, we prefer to hire those with some industry knowledge. Can you tell me what Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is?
The interviewer is testing the basic industry knowledge you possess. Your answer should indicate your professional experience level in your field, how well you'd compliment their teams, and how you'd compare to the other candidates they're interviewing. Regardless of your experience level, you should conduct industry-related research before your interview.
"Advanced Shipping Notice is an important document that the customer receives containing all of their pertinent shipping information. This notice could include specifics related to their shipment, carrier information, delivery expectations, and estimated arrival time, for example."
"Although I am new to the logistics industry, I believe that ASN is related to shipping notices. With that said, I am here to learn. Could you take a moment to explain ASN briefly to me?"
