What specific information are you seeking? A Walmart or Home Depot store manager may view things in an entirely different context compared to a convenience store manager.

Ok.

How do you manage quarterly budgets, ledgers, income and expense statements and monthly P & L statements?

How do you prepare end of day reports, bank reconciliation statements and respond to financial queries from clients in a timely manner?


And tell me about a time you faced adversity/challenge at the warehouse and overcame it?

Huh? A store manager is unlikely to see a P&L. Upper management wants some things kept secret, like the cost of rent, outside overhead, and a few other things.

That last question sounds like a quote from some employment application questionnaire. How to answer that one... hmmmm....

"Waell, I faced adversity in the warehouse last summer. There was a rat the size of a German Shepherd that kept eating the cookies in the employee lounge. I put a lock on a locker and put the cookies in there. That had the added benefit of reducing our cookie cost even further, because the cookies started smelling like my socks. By using a "green" solution rather than shooting the rat, I avoided a confrontation with PETA, raised the awareness of the staff, and qualified us for a tax break which lower our corporate taxes by fifty-thousand dollars, and allowed us to get full value out of dead inventory from the insurance company. I am currently working on ways that we can rent our rat out to other businesses so that they might enjoy similar benefits."
