In most cases, you need a proper cover letter and resume in order to obtain an interview. When crafted correctly, they work together to build a firm case for you as a candidate for the job you seek. However, at that point the hiring manager may not be completely sold. Considering the fact that people spend between 40-60 hours a week at work, on average, hiring managers want to ensure they are making the best decision when selecting new employees, which is why the interview is so critical. It helps to verify information that was presented on the cover letter and resume, as well as give an idea of how the candidate will fit in within the company. To ensure that you leave a lasting, positive impression, you should become familiar with common questions asked during transaction coordinator interviews. You can expect a few general interview questions, but the transaction coordinator interview questions and answers below can help you get to the meat of what you stand for as a candidate.

6 Transaction Coordinator Interview Questions & Answers

What do you believe are your key traits that have made/would make you a successful transaction coordinator?

I believe that one of my strongest traits is my organization ability. In my previous position, I had to create and maintain files for various clients, and my organization skills aided tremendously. My personable demeanor and communication skills are also strong traits that allow me to perform as a liaison between clients and agents. Along with my traits, my previous transaction coordinator experience makes me fully confident in my abilities to fulfill the needs of this position.

Tell me about a difficult transaction that you facilitated.

A client seemed to keep coming up with issues each time we resolved a concern that was previously shared, which was extending the completion timeline. I facilitated a meeting with the client and stressed the fact that it was our mission to provide the highest level of service in a reasonable timeframe. I then suggested that we create a list of all issues that needed to be addressed to lead to successfully completing the project. I was able to solidify all issues, and my team was able to address them quickly to finish the project.

How would you describe your ability to work as a team player?

I appreciate whenever I am able to work as a part of a team. In previous team environments, I have seen how individuals are able to play to their strengths and contribute to making a quality product. I tend to lean towards the administrative side of the team, though I have also helped in other capacities. During the last project I worked on, I developed the measurement tool for the project and logged the data that was gathered with it.

What have you done to help you to grow and succeed as a transaction coordinator?

I believe that it is critical for all professionals to stay abreast of the new developments within their fields. Therefore, I make a conscious effort to look into and study new developments within the customer service industry as well as in transaction coordination. In my previous position, I attended project management training. Over the years I have also found and implemented useful management tactics from various articles from business and management organizations.

What are your methods for maintaining organization with a large workload?

One of the biggest keys to maintaining organization is to not allow work to pile up. Though I may be working on different projects all at once, I find that it is best to create some organization during the process. Even if I do not have time to complete the entire filing or paperwork process in the moment, I make sure that I keep different files and projects separate and give myself a clear reference point for when I return to the project.

Describe your customer service skills.

Practically all of my previous work experience has been customer service related, so I would say that I have very strong customer service skills. I understand the importance of listening to the customer and addressing all issues with care. I also know when it is important to involve management versus issues that I can address myself. Most importantly, I do not take my knowledge for granted, and make sure that I stay well-informed of the consumer market and current trends in the customer service industry. I believe that all of these aspects help to make me a strong customer service representative.
