Here’s the FULL LIST of OFFICE MANAGER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become an Office Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am a highly-organized, driven and objective focused manager who is able to get the most out of the people I am responsible for. I am passionate about my work, and I understand the success of your organization is dependent on people like me, doing their jobs professionally and to the highest standards achievable. I have a unique set of skills that would enable me to not only manage the office team proficiently, but I am also able to ensure the people I am managing grow, develop and thrive within their roles. If I am successful, and I get to become your Office Manager, I would work hard to make sure the objectives you set are achieved in a professional and timely manner without hinderance or fuss.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our company as an Office Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I would like to work for your company for the simple reason you are clearly very good at what you do, and you are at the forefront of innovation within your industry. Job satisfaction is very important to me, and I only ever want to work for an organization that would support me in the role of Office Manager to enable my team and me to develop and grow professionally. The company I work for is far more important than the position, and whilst I would feel privileged to be your Office Manager, the sense of pride would actually come from being employed by your company name. If I do realize my objective, and I get to work for your company as an Office Manager, I feel you will be impressed and satisfied with my strong work ethics, my values and my ability to get the most out of any team.”
