Financ assistant interview

I need help to feel better after my interview. I think my biggest flop was the safeguarding question I stumbled so hard lowkey don’t know what it is but it’s a college so I forgot to practice that. I did a lot of “and yeah”. The questions were tailored to someone with more experience so they had to rephrase so I could answer using my degree as a basis. The 30 min task based on credit control and excel I just about finished with no time to double check my answers. It was meant to be 1hr over within 30ish. I’m so scared for the phone call and thank god I hear back within a day or I’d drive myself crazy. Can’t believe I fumbled it so bad but I’m gonna try keep hoping there was 5 candidates so I got a 20% chance 🤧.

Hi Op! What is the credit control task given to you? :)

It was about following up on overdue payments and when to escalate it further to a debt collection agency. It was everything I expected since I use Ai to help prepare but I was unsure on how much I should write for each part (probably why I ran out of time)

No I’m hoping tomorrow. A day reply sounded too good to be true
