If the interviewer asks this question, the position will likely require you to prepare invoices and it should be stated in the job description. If it is not, and it catches you off guard, that's ok! Even if you do not have a lot of experience in invoicing, there must be a time in your previous history when you assisted with invoicing or reviewed it.

Focus on any invoicing experience you have. An invoice, simply put, is a bill or tab issued by a seller to a buyer, relating to a sale transaction and indicating the products, quantities, and agreed-upon prices for products or services the seller had provided the buyer. Explain your experiences with this function, even if it is for personal use, such as home repairs.

Avoid saying you have no experience. You probably do, even if you haven't created thousands of invoices previously. Focus on what you DO know, even if it is simplistic.

"I have not had much professional invoicing experience, but I understand that it is a document that is issued by a seller to a buyer detailing terms. I recently sold my home and worked with several contractors to make minor repairs. I had to keep meticulous track of invoicing for a potential buyer."
