"I understand that hiring and firing employees is an essential part of being a manager. I've done both as a manager in my current role."

As a Facility Manager, you will be responsible for hiring new employees and firing those that do not meet performance requirements or act against the company's policy. Share your experience performing these functions with the interviewer.

"Yes I do. I've interviewed and hired many candidates, and, as unpleasant as it may be, I've also had to fire an employee before. I have no problem performing either of these tasks."

Minimal experience with both.
Stephanie's Feedback
It's totally okay. to have minimal experience in these areas (all managers have to start somewhere!) However, for the purpose of this interview, there is no reason to emphasize your lack of experience. Instead, if you've had experience hiring and/or firing (example: the two people you mentioned hiring previously,) I suggest leaning into that experience and developing your answer around that.
