As a result of the dashboard, we were seldom if ever out of stock on those products. I maintained a dashboard that showed us when we were running low on any of those low-quantity parts because we needed more lead time to get those orders turned around and delivered to us. In my last job I set up a system with the suppliers for our low-quantity parts, because it would be very easy for us to slip off those suppliers' radar screens. That's why I'm drawn to manufacturing jobs.Įarlier in our conversation you mentioned that it's a challenge keeping parts on hand for products that you only build in small quantities. I like to organize inventory systems and see products coming off the assembly line. The reason I like Inventory Control and Production Planning is because it deals with real things - parts and finished products - not strictly numbers in spreadsheets. If I come and work here it will be my third job in Inventory Control. I would only say that I'm excited about your company and its prospects, I've been working in Inventory Control and Production Planning very successfully and I love it, and if I seem like the right person for the job I'd be very excited to continue the conversation.
Honestly I'd have a hard time saying truthfully "You should hire me!" because you are going to meet or have already met the other candidates, and of course I haven't met them. It sounds like your new hire will go to weekly Production meetings and make sure that every part you require for the next week's production schedule is on hand, or if it isn't, to fix that problem! When suppliers switch out parts or re-number them, this person will make sure the database gets updated. What if I share my impression of the role and see if I've got a good handle on it - is that okay? Great! Well, it seems that this job is very connected to the inventory system and your part-number database. Is my assessment of the environment on target? I love to stay busy and wear a lot of hats. Here are five ways to answer the question "Why should we hire you?" Pick one of these answers or use them as a springboard to construct your own!įive Good Answers To The Question "Why Should We Hire You?"įrom what I understand about the job, it's a position that requires a lot of fast activity during the day, and that's the kind of job I thrive in.
The worst way to answer the question "Why should we hire you?" is to start begging for the job by saying "Hire me because I'm smart, hard-working, loyal and thrifty!"Īlmost every candidate will answer the question by praising themselves. They work there - you don't! How would you know? How could you possibly know why they should hire you, or even whether they should hire you? I hate that question, too! It's obnoxious, but a lot of interviewers ask it anyway.
