1,100 management manager interview questions shared by candidates

What do you know about the company and the position and what experience do you have to fulfill the role? I answered each part sharing what I had learned from the website and job description and then identified specifics from the job duties and responsibilities that I had direct experience in performing or those that were very similar to my previous experience. The interviewer stated I had nothing that matched the position. I intended to interject a counter to the statement, but because she continued to talk I waited until she took a breath. She ended her discourse about how it really doesn't matter what my skill set is or what experience I have because the company is looking for just 3 qualities: Time Management, Coordination, and Prioritization. I did address the 3 and gave myself high marks for each, but frankly, I was prepared to ask why she took the time to contact me at all. Why did I have to complete 2 assessments prior to final application submission if nothing matters but 3 skills? Why ask me questions about my experience, degrees (I have 2), background and mention reviewing my CV several times, if nothing matters except 3 skills? I do have both matching and transferrable skills and experience for the role but my take away was firstly, that what I would bring to the table was really inconsequential to her and/or the company, and secondly, the interviewer was not skilled in understanding matching and transferrable skills . So, for someone with no experience, according to the interviewer, if you are a person who excels in time management, coordination, and prioritization, then theoretically, you should be a prime candidate.

Mixed feeling about this interview. I later found out that the role had been open for some time and that the director was having to juggle multiple jobs. The screening interview by HR was conducted well and primed me for an interview with the hiring manager who I got on well with. The last stage was travelling to Waterloo from Toronto for an onsite interview with the VP for 45 minutes. The VP was disengaged, took a call in the interview and had a hard stop so he could leave work to go to a party. I had to follow up multiple times for status updates and received a call from HR saying I ddn't get the job. I interviewed well with the hiring manager hence why I got to the 3rd round, Iwas the most experienced, but they were going with another candidate, so it looks like the VP made the final decision even after he said the hiring manager would make the decision. So a lengthy waste of time and money.

The questions were similar to the ones that other people have listed. I guess the one that stumped me the most was about using quality control procedures in previous jobs because I haven't had any real experience with that. The interviewer said that if I didn't feel comfortable with a particular question he would skip it and give me another one, which he did.
