How do you handle a situation where your supervisor does not properly communicate information to you?
Strong communication skills are key to accomplishing store tasks and building a strong team, but miscommunication still happens between managers and team members from time to time. Talk to the interviewer about how you approached a situation where miscommunication happened between you and a supervisor. What did you learn from that situation?
"When I was hired at my current job, my manager had miscommunicated the length of my first training shift: she had told me two hours in her email, but when I arrived I quickly realized I was expected to stay much longer. Unfortunately, I had to get to my other job, so I talked to the manager about it directly without accusing her of the miscommunication -- I told her I must have misunderstood her expectations. She let me go to my other job, and when I came back for my next shift she told me that she had reread our email exchange and apologized for the miscommunication."
