17. What is the last skill you learned?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Typically when this question is asked the hiring manager is differentiating the applicants that have the internal drive to grow and develop. An applicant that is not improving their skills will not improve the company as much as an applicant that is working on becoming a better manager.

What You Should Say
Review the job description again to determine what skills the company is looking for in their client services manager. Focus on one skill and explain why you are learning it and the steps you are taking to get better.

Answer Example
"My focus right now is improving my written communication. My staff works different shifts and I'll communicate through email to make sure the team is well informed. However, sometimes my staff perceive the email differently than I expected them to. I am an avid reader and reading a couple of books that will help me make sure my written message is clear and concise."
