About the role
This interview covers the practical support an intern gives to purchasing, inventory and logistics teams in oil and gas. The panel wants evidence that you check technical details, keep reliable records and understand why urgency does not remove the need for approval and quality checks.
How to prepare
- Review the path from purchase requisition through quotation, approval, purchase order, receipt and invoice matching.
- Practise comparing quotations by specification, lead time, commercial terms and total cost.
- Revise basic Excel sorting, filters, lookups and date tracking.
- Prepare an example of finding and correcting an error in a list, stock record or group assignment.
- Think through how you would communicate a supply delay to both a vendor and an internal user.
Common mistakes
- Choosing the lowest quotation without checking whether it meets the specification.
- Changing a quantity or receipt record without preserving the supporting evidence.
- Promising a delivery date before confirming it with the responsible vendor and logistics team.
