QUESTION 16 OF 30

What type of manager brings out the best in you?

The interviewer wants to see that you are self-aware and understand the type of manager or employer that brings out the best in you. Some individuals prefer a close working relationship with a lot of accountability, while others prefer space and autonomy. If you are unsure of the management style of the interviewing company, try to leave your answer as open as possible. You can certainly ask the interviewer to describe their management style.

"I have worked with a wide range of personalities and management styles with great success. If I could express a preference, I feel that I am best with a manager who allows me autonomy while still investing time in me through mentorship and training. Can you describe the management style here?"

"As someone new to the workforce, I think I will do well with a manager who is patient and willing to train me and answer questions I may have. I'm a quick learner and will not be a burden, but initially, I will need a manager who is supportive. I also like to receive feedback, positive and constructive, so that I know how I am doing and what I can do better. I will also do well with a manager who is open and honest in sharing feedback on a regular basis."
