Posted in reply for length.

I applied for a job as Production Planner for a well established company with manufacturing companies in three countries. It was sort of one a whim because I didn't think I'd get a callback but I have been employed for six months.

My most relevant job was my most recent warehouse one that I had for three year. This was my resume stuff for that.

"-Designed training plan to teach new employees on use of specialized machinery and company regulations
-Directed employees in order to achieve production goals while maintaining product quality
-Utilized software to create marketing material for distribution to customers and website displays
-Coordinated with other departments to assist them in meeting company deadlines
-Assisted customers with finding the ideal product for their projects and with the checkout process
-Verified correctness and quality of incoming product shipments
-Accurately picked and packaged products in order to ship to customers and bulk distributors"

All of the above is true but it is nowhere near what I think I'd need for the job I applied for. For one, I was only ever in charge of 2-3 other employees.

The main things I am worried about are my negotiation skills and Excel skills. I have a basic understanding of Excel (I can sort of do pivot tables) and they wanted proficient. They require negotiation skills and the only negotiation I've done is between employees who are fighting.

I did have to meet 'production needs' but it was all done in our small warehouse. I never had to coordinate with other manufacturing plants (IN OTHER COUNTRIES!).

So, what can I do to prepare for this interview?

Focus on the things that you know that you can do - on the contributions that you can make to their business and the skillset that you're bringing. You can always pick up the things that you don't have experience with. Be honest about your experience and skillset, but positive and upbeat.

I'll try to be positive. One of the guys interviewing me is apparently a bit of a hardass. D:
