The job of a manager makes rather high demands on professional training and requires special skills. If you are preparing for an interview with the expectation of such a position, try to present yourself from the best side by demonstrating your knowledge and skills to the employer.
Necessary
- - business suit;
- - professional dossier.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your interview preparation by looking at your appearance. It should be businesslike and formal. For men, a suit, tie and white shirt are best; for women, a light blouse, a straight-cut skirt or trousers, and black shoes. Makeup does not have to be bright and provocative.
Step 2
Prepare your professional dossier. Include in it a resume, originals and copies of educational documents, certificates of additional training. Attach certificates confirming your qualification level to the package of documents. If possible, stock up on reviews and recommendations that characterize your achievements at your previous place of work as a manager.
Step 3
Think in advance about your answers to questions that may arise during the interview. A future manager may be asked not only about previous work experience and assessment of their business qualities. Be prepared for the employer to ask how deeply you know the methods of market research, the organization of production in this field of activity, and work with personnel.
Step 4
Try to get more information about the company you are applying for and the specifics of the industry in general. It will be easier for you to build a conversation with an employer if you already have an idea of the structure of the enterprise, the products it produces, and the managerial tasks facing the manager.
Step 5
During the interview, answer the questions with restraint, correctness and to the point. The employer should understand that you are familiar with the terminology related to different aspects of the manager's work, but still try to avoid excessive use of professional jargon. Remember that competent and well-delivered speech is one of the professionally important qualities of a manager.
Step 6
When you hear a question that causes you difficulty, do not rush to be embarrassed or confess your incompetence. Check with the interviewer if you have understood the question correctly and state it in your own words. This will give you extra time to think.
Step 7
Be confident and leader in interviews. Remember that no specialist can know absolutely everything in their profession. If you have an idea of the general principles of a manager's work, you will be able to offer your vision of the question posed to you, even in the most general terms. Tricky questions from the employer can only be a test of your psychological resilience in a stressful situation.
