Question

Ok, i have an interview for Either Manager or Assistant manager tomorrow.. Im a little nervous because well... i dont have much manager experience. i do have retail and sales experience and i did make my resume look a little more interesting and just a resume that deserve a second look. (dont mean to sound like im bragging) well anyhow, I had a phone interview. he asked me many important questions like if i was comfortable with scheduling hours and payroll, what customer service meant to me, and so on.... so TOMORROW im going for my second interview face to face.... i find it weird because first of all the interview will not be in the same mall that the store is at, it will be in another mall that doesnt even have one of their stores, why would they do that? Also the person who i talked to said something about the face to face interview was going to be different .... im not sure what he meant by that... i believe it has something to do with not doing it in the work place or the store that i would be hired for.....why would they do that?also what can i do to make me stick out in their mind as the best candidate for the job. If he asks me if i have any questions for him what should i ask? anything that will impress them? also he told me to bring a resume and i decided to include on my resume the past leadership experiences ive had examples are.... i was captain of my soccer team, i was also captain of my hs football team, a youth group leader and i was a keyholder/supervisor in one of my past jobs now i know these are good leadership examples since i was leading a team but can you please give me some more ideas or anything that will help me out.... is it a good way to go? i dont have any degrees i only have a life insurance license and my experience in the retail customer service and sales industry..... any tips or stories that will help anything at all.... please let me know. thanks in advance.

Answer 2

Research as much as you can about the company you are interviewing with, that can help you come up with some cool questions the interviewer will know that you did your homework.

Also, almost all places ask you for your strengths and weaknesses. DO NOT say that you can't think of any weaknesses, everyone has weakness! I ask everyone I interview for these two things and if you tell me you don't have a weakness I don't hire you. For example: some of my weaknesses are, (a) I tend to want to be too friendly with the people that are working for me, I want to seem like the "cool boss" to them, then I always have a hard time cracking down on them when they need to be corrected because i've got this buddy relationship with them. (b) I get frustrated with myself when I am not able to finish tasks as quickly as I think they should be completed. (c) I always want to be a 'team leader' but am working on taking a back seat sometimes and giving others a chance to shine as well.

Being a manager means you have to deal with lots of crazy people, I don't know what the job you are applying for is, but try to think of some cray things that could go down at the job that you would have to handle, and think of several ways that you would attempt to handle them, they will probably ask you some "what if" questions like that!

Good Luck!

Answer 3

i wish you well but.................

after reading this it seems you are in way over your head. you don't seem to have any of the experience that is needed to manage a retail outlet in a mall (sorry to be so blunt). if you have to use others experiences or ask for help from strangers says to me that you are setting yourself up to fail.................

i hope i am wrong and some one can give you the magic answers but i don't see that happening. good luck.....

Answer 4

Hey buddy just calm down.

First off, realize that everyone had no experience at some point.  If noone ever gave anyone a chance, then noone would ever advance.  You need to believe in your abilites.  I mean, being a manager is not that hard.  If you think that you can handle the job, then you can!  Just focus on the things in your life that would make you a good manager.  You were in sales, so sell this guy on you!  There is no right or wrong way to get a job.  You made it through to the second interview, so now all you need to focus on is calming his concerns. He has already decided that you could possibly do the job, now he will be looking for things that will disprove that.  Just be confident!  You got this.  Let me know how it goes!  

Answer 5

Just go in there and be confident in yourself and all that you have done in previous jobs. Let them know how you solved problems and got along with other people and your leadership skills. Dress well, smile and give'em all you got! Good Luck!!
