A/R managers are not only judged on their ability to manage A/R. Effective accounting personnel are able to manage people as well. If an applicant has the proven ability to develop employees, this can set her apart from other employees. If this is the case, it is important for the applicant to not sell herself short. By explaining during the interview how the applicant is able to get work done through other people, the applicant can demonstrate how valuable she is to the company. For an A/R manager, this could include tasks such as reviewing credit applications prepared by other employees or performance evaluations of collections staff. A key to a successful interview is the applicant showing that she has the skills to perform technical A/R tasks, like collection, but also has the ability to teach these methods to others.
