Employers are asking this question to find out how much research you've done and whether you've got a full understanding of the company and the role. If you have got no clue about the company's purchase and logistics department, then tell them you do your research and find out what sort of improvement is needed.

You can then go on to describe it- the most frequent challenges of purchase and logistics and you can also add the achievements you have got from your present employer.

Feel free to reframe the question. This is similar to asking 'Can you give an example of a time when you had to cope with a difficult situation?' or 'Give an example of a time when you had to cope under pressure'. However, 'crisis' is a much stronger, more emotive word. You may find it easier to give an example if you think back through your work experience, study, extracurricular activities and travel and come up with a time when you had to cope with an unexpected problem.

The only lawful bases for dismissal are well defined into types:

☛ Misconduct

☛ Theft or fraud (A real problem in supply chains)

☛ Drug or alcohol abuse

Important: Please note that you must also refer to employer guidelines and staff policies for these issues.

Graduate recruiters use some questions as much to see how you cope when you're put on the spot as to elicit a truthful answer. This question is a test of your ability to think on your feet and come up with a diplomatic response. Whether you sidestep the question by saying you've always got on well with your employers, or describe a tricky situation you've experienced that highlights your potential, you need to avoid attacking your previous employers. Also, take care not to incriminate yourself.

This is an open ended question, and you can use it very effectively as a statement of your abilities. You will need to address each area of the logistics manager job's responsibilities, showing strong values and experience in each area.
