Supervisor Interview Questions

Employers are looking to hire supervisors that can effectively lead others in order to ensure the quality, production, and sale of their products. Be prepared to showcase your leadership and people management skills in planning projects, mentoring team members, and providing support. You may be asked to answer situational questions such as how you would take accountability for your subordinate's actions or help motivate a discouraged team member.

The HR Manager was frustrated with me &/or my answer for the best approach to deal with a staff member who is potentially missing an up-sell as they check out the customer. I said it depends on the relationship and opportunity to involve yourself, without taking over and perhaps demotivating your staff. Worst case, I would discuss with said staff member after the customer was happily dealt with. She has the Store Manager come speak to me as I filled out the references form, which I felt went well and took as a positive sign.
