Job Interview Questions

Notice how small changes in the interview questions will change your answer.  Possible follow-up questions are noted with a bullet.  Use our mock interviews based on actual job listings and interviews for more interview practice:  

1. As a manager with a number of subordinate supervisors, one of the employees consistently bypasses your subordinate supervisor and brings issues and problems directly to you. What action, if any, will you take?

2. You’ve just appointed a new supervisor for your best section. The section has nearly perfect attendance and consistently produces the most work with the fewest mistakes. The supervisor states that work takes priority and that only essential conversations should take place. What will you do?

3. A subordinate supervisor directs an employee to correct a potentially unsafe action. The employee refuses. What is your direction to the supervisor?

4. One of your subordinate supervisors without talking to you has taken a personnel issue to your supervisor. What will you do?

5. You've been told by a number of staff that one of your subordinate supervisors is documenting everything that you do.  What actions, if any, will you take?

6. You've initiated a major change in policy in your organization. One of your subordinate supervisors is resisting the change to the point where their resistance may influence other employees. What actions, if any, will you take?
