"We changed our product catalog recently, so I had to re-memorize a lot of products, codes, and pricing. That following week was month end, so I needed to have my product knowledge up to snuff so that I could invoice quickly. I was proud of my ability to retain all of that data in such a short amount of time."

At my current job the business was getting a lot of complaints about late deliveries
I met with the staff involved in the customer delivery department and discovered that the problem seemed to be with the stock coming through on time. I investigated and found that requests for new inventory were not processed in a timely manner. The backlog was in the orders department as they were not following up adequately with the suppliers. A system for regular follow-up was quickly implemented. This sorted out the stock problems and the delivery staff were able to meet their deadlines.

The interviewer would like to know that you are willing to go the extra mile when it's required. Some accounts receivable tasks will require a keener eye and additional diligence. Discuss a time when you were extra thorough during work-related tasks.

"In my current inventory control job the company was getting a lot of complaints about late deliveries. I met with the delivery staff and discovered that the problem seemed to be with the stock arriving on time. I investigated and found kinks in our new inventory request process. The backlog was in the orders department as they were not following up adequately with the suppliers. I implemented a system for faster and more accurate follow-up. This system sorted out the stock problems, and the delivery staff was able to meet their deadlines."
