  • 4. How do you handle working with little to no supervision?

      How to Answer

      Little supervision often comes after some time, when trust is well established between yourself and your employer. The interviewer would like to know if you have worked in an environment that offers little amounts of supervision. Primarily, they are looking for proof that you can be productive even when nobody is watching or supervising you. Be sure to ask the interviewer about the level of supervision in this particular role. You want to make sure it's a good fit for you.

      2nd Answer Example

      "Lifeguarding at a recreation facility, there is a lot of close supervision especially when I work the same shifts as the facilities manager. With that said, I am a hard worker and would have no issues when it comes to working more independently. I will deliver more than my base expectations, regardless of the supervision level. How would you describe the level of supervision in this role?"

      "I worked in the SCUBA diving industry for a long time in the Philippines. I mostly took an individual or a group of divers. I gave them a briefing before and after diving to make sure everything is okay. I am hardworking and take full responsibility for my job."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Your example is good; however, work on a more complete delivery of your response.
      "I work well with little to no supervision. I have been working in the scuba diving industry for many years; primarily on my own with a diver or group of divers. I can independently handle briefing divers, ensuring their safety, and taking on the other responsibilities that come with being a dive instructor."
