As a Compensation Manager with this organization, you may have direct reports and will be responsible for the training of all staff within the department. At some point during your interview, your interviewer will try to determine if you can train your employees on the skills they will need to succeed as part of the compensation department. If possible, try to talk about a specific time where you trained a new employee and what tactics you used to ensure that the end goal of the training was achieved. If you do not have this direct experience at this point in your career, you can cite a time when you had to educate and train a hiring manager on the compensation processes.
