Accounts payable clerks must have strong organizational skills. A pre-screening interviewer likely will ask, "What organizational skills do you possess?" Or, "How do you keep up with invoicing demands?" Focus on your organizational skills, attention to detail, ability to pay invoices in a timely manner and communication strengths. Employers want accounts payable clerks who diligently keep up with invoices and don't let payments slip through the cracks. Discuss previous work situations where you had to contact vendors personally, communicate with upper management about invoicing concerns, or make important financial decisions that required organizational or problem-solving skills.
