Junior Collections Specialist
Example Belgium · Output language: English
Strong matchYou cover most of what this vacancy asks for: customer contact, payment follow-up and administrative accuracy are all visible in your CV. Two points are unclear rather than missing — your Dutch level and whether you have worked with an ERP system. Clarifying both would make this a very competitive application.
This score is guidance to help you prioritise, not a prediction of whether you will be hired. Employers weigh things we cannot see.
Where the score comes from
Three years of customer contact and payment follow-up in a finance department.
Reconciliation, dispute handling and Excel reporting are all evidenced in your CV.
Bachelor in Business Administration meets the stated minimum level.
English is confirmed. The vacancy asks for good Dutch; your CV does not state a level.
You live in Antwerp, which is commutable. Work eligibility is not stated in your CV.
Most terms used in the vacancy already appear in your CV in some form.
Strong matches
Direct experience chasing overdue payments
Your CV: “Followed up on overdue invoices for around 120 business customers and reduced average days overdue from 51 to 38.”
Comfortable with difficult customer conversations
Your CV: “Handled payment disputes by phone and email, agreeing repayment plans within company policy.”
Administrative accuracy
Your CV: “Reconciled daily bank statements and corrected mismatched payments before month-end close.”
Missing or unclear requirements
Good written and spoken Dutch
Unclear from your CVThe vacancy asks for Dutch at a working level. Your CV lists languages but does not give a level for Dutch, so an employer cannot judge it.
Experience with an ERP system such as SAP
Unclear from your CVYou mention accounting software, but not which one. If you have used SAP, Odoo or a similar system, name it.
Knowledge of Belgian dunning procedures
MissingYour collections experience is from outside Belgium. The vacancy mentions the local reminder procedure; this is learnable, but it is not currently evidenced.
Transferable experience
International customer portfolio
You managed customers across several countries, which is close to the multilingual client base described in the vacancy.
Process improvement
You proposed a reminder schedule that shortened payment delays. The vacancy asks for someone who helps improve the follow-up process.
Missing keywords
Words the vacancy uses that your experience already supports — they are just not written down yet.
Accounts receivable
Your invoice follow-up work is accounts receivable, but you never use the term.
Payment plan
You describe agreeing repayment arrangements — the vacancy calls these payment plans.
Reconciliation
Named once in an older role; it belongs in your most recent role too.
Before applying
- 1State your Dutch level clearly (for example “Dutch B1 — daily conversation and written follow-up”). If you are still learning, say so honestly and mention your current course.
- 2Name the accounting or ERP software you have actually used, including the version or module if you remember it.
- 3Move your collections results to the top of your most recent role, using the vacancy's wording: accounts receivable, payment plans, reconciliation.
RoleUp improves how you present your real experience. It does not guarantee interviews or employment and will never intentionally add qualifications you have not provided.
