How do you resolve it? - What is your weakness? - Question about third party credit rating agencies (i don't remember exactly but I was asked which credit rating agency I use at my current position - I went on to comparing two agencies I used in the past) - (Scenario based question) At the month end period, your internal client wants the procurement function to dispatch as much stockpile as possible to external customers but you know that these customers have low credit rate/ financially unstable to make payment on-time.
