"A positive attitude and the ability to inspire others are things I look for in a boss. At my first internship, my boss had a great sense of humor and always encouraged us to smile. He made sure we stayed on task, of course, but he was also uplifting, supportive, and made sure we had fun doing our jobs. That kind of leadership made all of us excited to show up and do our best every day."

Employers like to ask interview questions about what management style you prefer and what type of boss or manager you prefer to work with. They want to make sure that you'll fit into their organization. Check out the company's website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube before the interview to try to get clues about their general management style. Show that you can adapt to their management style and avoid using words like 'always' and 'never' when describing your ideal boss, supervisor, or manager.

"My ideal boss would be knowledgeable, patient and reliable- someone who still considers themselves a part of the team. Though I have separate duties as a project manager, I always try to jump in and help out on projects when I can. I think it improves the manager-employee dynamic when workers know that you truly care about them and are willing to step in and lend a hand."
