Tell me about your management experience.

"I've managed various sizes of teams in my career ranging from 16 to 36 people. I have been accountable for the hiring, training and managing of staff, budget management, and scheduling. I am a friendly and direct leader; I think communication is important at all levels."

Be honest with the interviewer about how much management experience you have. If you have experience with supervising staff, writing performance reviews, coaching employees, hiring, interviewing, terminating employees, scheduling, or motivating, be sure to mention these things.

If you do not have management experience, now is the time, to be honest about it, and talk about how excited you are to learn. Odds are, the interviewer will ensure you receive more training when you begin your new role because they know you will benefit from the extra knowledge!

"I have been in a management role for eight years, starting as a keyholder, then assistant manager, for the local bar and grill. In my current role, my management responsibilities include hiring, terminating, training new staff, and taking care of customer disputes. I look forward to expanding my management experience to include a larger tea and bigger restaurant facility."
