This is an idiotic question. None of my work, neither the work for which I am applying is bookkeeping-it is entry level social service. The job is entry level, Nevertheless, i will be asked this question. What kind of answer can I give? Excel, Access, Word…I use these to index my files, and to keep my records on.
Is this what these cretins are asking for?
Record keeping isn’t the same as book-keeping. It is literally the “keeping of records”, both electronic and hard copy.
I would be prepared to discuss how you:
*manage your folders on your hard drive
*bring forward items for review or archival
*track the progress of your projects (e.g. use “Tasks” feature in Outlook)
*manage paper copies - what would your filing system look like
Stuff like that.
