23 Management Trainee Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to be a manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I want to be a manager for several reasons. The level of responsibility is important to me, along with the fact you must constantly develop new skills and strategies to be able to deal with the situations you will face on a daily basis. I am an ambitious and driven person who wants to have a long and successful career in management. Being a manager will give me a level of job satisfaction I don’t believe is possible in another role. As a manager of a successful organization such as yours, you get to motivate your team, you get to help them develop and improve, and you get to witness first-hand the impact your actions have on the financial and commercial success of the business.”
Q2. What are the different styles of management and which one do you think you would be?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“There are seven different styles of management. These are autocratic, pacesetting, democratic, transformational, coaching, affiliative, and laissez-faire. Autocratic is the most commanding whilst laissez-faire is the most laid back. I think I would be a mixture of autocratic, coaching, and transformational. There would be times where I would need to be autocratic, especially if we were experiencing difficult challenges and we had a very tight deadline to meet. I would use a coaching style of management when conducting performance reviews or when I needed to motivate my team. Finally, I would always use a transformational style of management because I believe we would need to embrace change continuously if we were going to successfully meet the organizational strategic objectives.”

Yes! I Want To Pass My Interview!THE SKILLS AND QUALITIES NEEDED TO BE A MANAGEMENT TRAINEE
There are numerous skills and qualities needed to be a management trainee. Perhaps the most important one is the ability to learn, absorb, and retain large amounts of job specific information.
Your journey to becoming a qualified manager and a great leader within an organization is a long one, and the learning curve is steep! Always listen, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and make sure you learn from the experienced trainers and managers who are there to guide you within the organization.
Other skills and qualities needed to be a competent management trainee include exceptional communication and listening skills. You must communicate with clarity when dealing with your team and external partners or stakeholders, and you must listen just as much as you speak. Knowledge is power and if you are constantly aware of what is going in your team, it enables you to make the right decisions.
As a management trainee, you must be resilient in the face of adversity, take responsibility for everythingthat happens in your team, and be prepared to make difficult and sometimes unpopular decisions that are in the best interests of your employer. You will also need motivational skills to get the best out of your team, be a good coach, identify your team’s strengths and weaknesses, and always be open to change. Without change, a business cannot succeed long-term and you must always strive to meet your customer’s ever-changing demands and needs.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW (5 TIPS FOR SUCCESS!)
The following interview tips have been created by Richard McMunn, a manager and leader with over 20 years of experience. If you follow the tips your chances of success at your forthcoming management trainee interview will increase significantly. Once you have read the tips, download Richard’s guide and get started with your interview preparation.
MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW TIP #1
The interview panel is assessing your ‘potential’ to become a manager within their organization. Therefore, it is important you think of situations you have previously been in where you demonstrated leadership potential, and where you used your initiative to solve problems.
MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW TIP #2
During your management trainee interview, you will have to answer hypothetical questions. These are questions designed to assess what you would do in given management and leadership situations. Questions such as, how would you manage an underperforming team, and, what would you do if two members of your team were experiencing conflict?
MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW TIP #3
During your preparation, make sure you prepare answers to common interview questions such as, why do you want to work for our company, where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time, and what are your strengths and weaknesses? Although you are applying to become a management trainee, you should still prepare for common organizational interview questions.
MANAGEMENT TRAINEE INTERVIEW TIP #4
At the end of your management trainee interview, you will have the opportunity to ask some questions of your own. The questions you ask could be the difference between a pass or a fail. We recommend you ask 3 smart questions that put you across as a forward-thinking management trainee. A great question to ask is, what advice would you give to a new management trainee who wants to excel in your organization?
