About the role
This interview assesses how you keep physical warehouse stock aligned with system records. The panel will expect a controlled approach to counting, variance investigation, stock status and rotation, plus the confidence to challenge unsupported adjustments.
How to prepare
- Review cycle-count methods and how item value, movement and previous errors affect count frequency.
- Prepare a variance investigation that followed transactions, documents and physical locations to a root cause.
- Be ready to explain controls for damaged, quarantined, expired and saleable stock.
- Practise describing spreadsheet checks or reports you use to spot unusual inventory movement.
- Think of a process change that prevented a stock error from recurring.
Common mistakes
- Treating an adjustment as the end of an investigation rather than finding the cause.
- Counting stock without controlling movements or recording cut-off information.
- Reporting accuracy figures without explaining scope, timing and unresolved variances.
