Success Guide
When you apply for this Debtors Clerk role, make your Sage Pastel Partner experience impossible to miss. Recruiters for finance roles scan CVs for system names, so list Pastel clearly under your experience and mention the specific tasks you handled such as payment allocations, reconciliations or credit notes. If you have worked with customer accounts before, add a short line about the volume or type of accounts you managed.
For the interview, be ready to talk through how you spot and resolve discrepancies. They will likely ask how you follow up on overdue accounts and how you stay organised when statements, queries and switchboard duties compete for your time. A calm, friendly manner with customers matters here because you will deal with walk ins and phone calls. Bring a copy of your matric certificate and be prepared to explain your notice period since this is a temporary placement.
