About the role
A catalogue operations assistant keeps product information complete, accurate and easy for customers to find. This interview tests how you check listing data, work with spreadsheets, investigate errors and manage high-volume updates without creating new problems.
How to prepare
- Revise spreadsheet filters, sorting, duplicate checks and simple text or lookup formulas.
- Study the fields commonly used in product listings, including SKU, brand, category, price and variant attributes.
- Practise checking a small catalogue for missing, inconsistent or duplicated information.
- Prepare an example of accurate data entry or quality checking under a deadline.
- Think about how you would record exceptions that need a vendor or manager to clarify them.
