Sample answer
“In my previous role at Amazon UK, I was responsible for managing inventory levels using the Warehouse Management System. I regularly conducted cycle counts to ensure accuracy and cross-checked orders against packing lists. Once, I identified a recurring issue with a specific SKU that was frequently mis-picked. I worked with the team to implement a color-coded picking system, which reduced mis-picks by 30%.”
