Our policy to promote from within means that the managers at Home Bargains have been in the shoes of a sales assistant, so they know what the role entails. They're eager to invest in their team and help each of their employees reach their full potential. Talk to the interviewer about positive relationships you've had with managers in the past. What made these relationships stand out?

"The best manager I ever had really embodied the servant leadership paradigm. She made it common practice to have one-on-one meetings with each of her team-members every month or so to talk about our engagement in the work as well as what she could be doing better to bring out our best. The fact that she asked what -she- could do better instead of assuming her employees were the only ones with room for improvement spoke volumes to me. She's a leader I really admire."

Having worked at all levels with my current employer I know that the best managers aim to lead from the front and inspire their teams.
If they do their best to get the best out of their team by ensuring they have the skills and confidence to do well, I don't think you can ask for much more than that.

Can you talk about a manager who you really admired and why? Definitely emphasize that you're adaptable and able to work for any type of supervisor, no matter their personality or tendencies. Good job!
