Here’s the FULL LIST of FIRST-TIME SUPERVISOR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed for this supervisor position with your organization. I would describe myself as a confident, commercially-focused, and positive person with the skills, qualities, and traits to become a competent and effective supervisor. In recent years, I have observed many supervisors and managers and read numerous leadership books to prepare for this important position. In my last job, I shadowed my supervisor to understand what was expected in the role, and my natural organizational, planning, and leadership skills make me a strong candidate. Although this will be my first-ever supervisor position, I am confident I can help you achieve your commercial and operational goals. I assure you everything I do as your supervisor will be focused on the company’s core objectives and getting the most from my team.”
Q2. Why do you want to be a Supervisor?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to be a supervisor because I will thrive on the responsibility that comes with the role. I also want to be a supervisor because, for several years now, I have been preparing for the position. In my last job, I took responsibility for training and coaching new team members, and I realized then I had the qualities needed to be a supervisor. Becoming a supervisor is a natural progression based on my experience, knowledge, and ambitious nature.”
