The interviewer wants to know how familiar you are with the products and services you will be responsible for as the Department Manager. Before your interview, research the products and services offered. You can do this by physically visiting the store, searching the company's website, and reading reviews from customers and clients.

Overall, you want to demonstrate your knowledge and effort in learning about the department.
