International Logistics Assistant
Interview process
The initial phone interview was extremely straight forward, it was a member of the Mothercare recruitment team and I was asked straight forward questions like if I knew what logistics was about and what the role would in tail. We quickly ran through my CV and she then asked me if I would be able to attend an interview the next day.
The interview was with the head of logistics and one of the team leaders, it started off with a quick run through of my CV, previous job experience, education etc. Then after that they had a sheet of pre planned questions in which they would run through. I think it was a total of 10 questions. Questions such as outside what is your greatest achievement? Name a time you have demonstrated good organisation and time management skills? What do you feel the role of an international logistics assistant involves? How would you rate your IT skills?
Once we went through the questions the head of logistics went on to talk about what the role involved and what would be expected of me on a day to day basis. I then asked the questions I had and that was the end of the interview process.
