准备是在面试管理或领导地位时成功的关键成分。面试官正在寻找管理候选人的非常具体的特质，并且通常会提出问题，以帮助他们确定候选人是否有他们正在寻找的领导技能和经验。While it is impossible to know exactly what questions will be asked in an interview, here are 15 of the most common interview questions for managers and some possible ways to answer them in order to succeed in any interview.
1. Tell me about yourself.
This is usually one of the first questions an interviewer will ask. They are not looking for a life story here. Think about your past experiences and focus on the skills that you have developed that are relevant to the new position. The answer should be brief and contain information about your present position, your past experience and what you hope to accomplish in the desired position.
“I am currently a department manager at XYZ Manufacturing Company where I lead a team of 25 employees on 3 different shifts. Before that I worked as a shift supervisor at a different manufacturing company where I was able to increase productivity by 15 percent. I want to utilize my management skills to lead a larger organization which is why I’m so excited about this position.”
你为什么要留下当前的工作？
对当前或前雇主负面谈论的是一个好主意。
“虽然我很高兴我现在的工作，但我觉得我准备接受更多挑战和责任。目前没有进步的机会，我不会预见在不久的将来发生任何影响。“
你在五年内看到自己在哪里？
面试官提出这个问题，看看候选人是否可能留在公司一段时间内。
“我认为自己继续在公司中发展和发展我的管理技能，并承担任何可能发生的新角色和责任。”
你认为你最大的失败会怎么样？
When answering this question it is best not to talk about significant life regrets, but rather describe a minor failure, what steps were taken to solve the problem, and what lessons were learned from it to prevent it from being repeated in the future.
“When I first became a supervisor my team was struggling with some safety issues and was at risk of losing our incentives for the quarter. I implemented weekly safety meetings and provided individual coaching and training. In the end we achieved our safety goal.”
你什么时候对你的工作最满意？
想想你以前或当前工作的事情，这将是新工作的关键要求。
“I really enjoy mentoring others and helping them to develop in their careers. It gave me great satisfaction when one of my employees was promoted as a result of my mentoring and coaching.”
6.你什么时候对你的工作满意？
Conversely, when discussing the least satisfying thing about your last job, choose something that is not a requirement of the new role.
“在我上一份工作中，我需要每月至少旅行两次。虽然我开放旅行，每月两次或更大挑战。我喜欢留在我的设施并与我的团队合作。“
7.如果我问你的一个同事为什么我应该雇用你，他会说什么？
这个问题的一个很好的答案将突出职位描述的具体资格和要求。
“我是可靠的，友好的，友好的。我也认为他们会说我是坚定的，但公平。“
8. Who was your best boss?
This is not a time to name names. Think of the bosses that you really liked working for and the attributes that made them good leaders.
“I have had many great bosses over the years. The best ones were able to build upon the individual strengths and weaknesses of their employees and utilize them to the greatest extent. They were great at motivating employees to achieve to the best ability.”
9.你发现什么是最困难的决定？
这个问题有许多可能的答案，但面试官希望看到你有信心并能够做出艰难的决定。
“It is always difficult to decide when and how to terminate a well-meaning, but incapable employee. I always make sure to provide as much training and coaching as possible and have thorough documentation. I also include Human Resources to help me with the process.”
10. What motivates you?
在回答这个问题时，以薪水方式思考，专注于对您的工作激励您的事物以及这些事情如何适用于新的东西。
“I have always loved learning new things and I really enjoy training and mentoring others. I love preparing and presenting training to groups.”
11. How do you motivate others?
“有许多不同的方法可以激励人们。我尝试做的一件事是让每个人都在我的团队中了解他们在组织内部和我们服务的客户的角色是多么关心。我寻找每个人的优势，并以最好的方式利用它们。当它到期时，我会特别赞美，并在必要时提供工具和资源，以帮助每个人满足其全部潜力。“
12. What are your salary expectations?
在回答这个问题时，请注意不要提供特定的薪资编号。
“While my requirements are open, I would expect my salary to be in line with the current industry standards for this position.”
13.您更愿意独立或团队工作吗？
Most employers want people who can work independently but who are also team players.
“Some tasks are better handled independently while others may require a team effort to accomplish. I am equally comfortable working either independently or with a team.”
14.你最大的弱点是什么？
This is a very common interview question and one that most people dread. When answering this question, choose a real weakness, but not one that is an important part of the job description. Also discuss the steps you are taking to overcome the weakness.
“我不是很comfortable speaking in public. I asked my employer if I could attend a public speaking class and they agreed. It really helped me overcome my fears and now I am much more comfortable giving presentations.”
15.我们为什么要雇用你？
Research is crucial when answering this question. Look carefully at the job description and pick out key words that are relevant to your experience and use them in your answer.
“我知道你正在寻找有强烈的培训和发展背景的人。我为现有公司创建了一项培训计划，该公司有助于提高生产力并减少员工事故。我相信，我的技能和经验是独特的适合这家公司和这个职位。“
