If you have experience with inventory counts, inventory management, or ordering products in a retail environment, answer with examples of the work you have done. Be sure to include helpful numbers and positive achievements. If you don't have this experience, start by mentioning your primary competencies such as organization and attention to detail. Then, you can discuss tasks or achievements that utilize these important skills.

"The majority of my retail experience is in customer service since, at Company XYZ, the inventory counts, inventory management, and product orders were handled by the management team. However, I am very good at keeping good records and am highly ssystematic when it comes to organizing data and product. For example, at my last job, I would enter our customers' information accurately and in full. This way, when they returned for another visit, we had information on their past purchases which made it much easier for myself and the other sales associates to upsell."
