In “How do I Prepare for a Management Interview” I take you through five key areas you must include in your preparation if you want to get that job offer. 

There are a lot of interview questions for managers and whatever is asked demonstrating that you can solve specific problems and lead and manage others is a must if you want to progress and get that job offer. I take you through several senior job interview tips that should make a different in addition to answering all those tough interview questions thrown at you.

Interview preparation for managers is more challenging as you have to show good self-awareness, higher energy levels and use appropriate examples in your answers that show you operate at the level of your target role. A good and experienced interviewer will quickly know your management skill level through the management interview questions and answers.

The more senior a manager and leader you are the greater proportion of your time is spent on just management and leadership. When giving executive interviewing advice one should always keep this in mind and so should you when preparing for management interviews. Director interview preparation, I think, should focus on how will you run and manage your department or function and how will you contribute to the running of the business.

When you are thinking about how to prepare for manager interviews, think about the questions that you are going to ask during the interview process. These must show your research and interest into the company. Do not use standard questions. I expect probing questions and place more importance on the quality of the questions to separate candidates for each senior management interview. As a result this is one of my key executive job interview tips.

Good luck in your interviews.
