Being able to make quick decisions and think fast on your feet sets top-notch dispatchers out from the crowd. Dispatchers make a lot of decisions every day, so start off by telling the interviewer that you make a lot of quick decisions each day. Next, be prepared for a more significant example that will be sure to impress.

"My current position requires me to make tough decisions on a regular basis. I work well under pressure like that. Last week, I had two drivers who were given the incorrect cargo. I was able to dispatch them back to the warehouse, had our hand bombers ready to swap the loads, while ensuring that our clients were kept in the loop the entire time. It worked out well because I am no stranger to multi-tasking and I have great support staff."
