Credit Controller - anyone is one?

[Raymond Lin]

Due to a couple of unexpected turn of events outside my control, when life gives you lemons, lemonades and all that......I managed to land myself an interview for a Senior Credit Controller role in a company (commercial debt) really close to home but my credit control experience are quite minimal.

Does anyone have any advice on this and what advice they could give in terms of the job.

If the job is similar to what credit controllers do for my employer, your job will basically be debt collection by phone. You pester people to pay up, negotiate terms and payment plans. You will prepare reports for the management and it will be expected from you to keep a detailed history (income, other debt, current residence) of every debtor.

Yeah, pretty much what I expect. Thick skin, methodical, spreadsheet and good with dealing with people I guess are the key skills.
