Hi there,

So, I have an interview tomorrow morning for a supervisor position at work. I'm a caregiver, and I'd be supervising 4 other people. I've been employed with this company for 4 months, but as a caregiver for 2 years.

Can people help me prepare for the interview? I've never interviewed for a management position before..

There is usually a few people on an interview panel, there is also usually a check list...

Know your subject and your c.v very well,be prepared to answer any question on your c.v plus an explanation on any time breaks on your c.v.

Prepare for questions such as...

1.why do you think you're the best person for the job?

2. what kind of management style do you have?

3. what experience do you have in management?

4. health and safety regulations.

5. your strongest/weakest points...

Always turn a negative into a positive.

6. smile and be aware of your body language.

7. don't fidget,try not to cross your legs and keep your hands folded on your lap ( makes you more aware of them)

8. try and remaember names of the panel.

9. when answering a question look at everyone.

10.breathe... speak slowly.. take your time to consider each question.

Best of luck!

Cv?

It was only one person interviewing me. The program director. It went well, but there was someone with more managerial experience that got the job.

But now they know that I am interested for when another position opens or if this person fails miserably.

CV = Curriculum Vitae

Pretty much the same thing as a resume... but you already knew that because you searched Google, right?

I did, yes. She didn't even have my resume there. I'm sure she referred back to it at some point, but she didn't have it on the desk during the interview.
