"I understand that it is important to have healthy vendor relationships since the better they are, the more likely you will receive the best pricing and client service. Although I do not bring experience placing product orders and working directly with vendors, in my current role I am responsible for notifying my supervisor when the stock is running low on a product. I run an inventory count bi-weekly, which is always accurate, and includes over 250 SKUs."

As a warehouse clerk, you may be asked to place orders by email, over the phone, or through a warehouse management system (WMS). Discuss with the interviewer any interaction you have had with vendors in the past, assuring them that you are capable of being responsible for inventory levels.

"In my current clerk role I am to place orders with four different vendors every Tuesday before 5 PM. It's important that I track our levels very carefully to avoid overordering since my company runs very lean. I have reminders on my computer to ask vendors about upcoming discounts or bulk-purchase opportunities. When you call my references, they will attest to the fact that I am always meticulous in my ordering and have solid relationships with each vendor."
