26 Operations Manager Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of OPERATIONS MANAGER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become an Operations Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am very well organized, conscientious and professional in relation to the tasks that I undertake at work. I have spent time reading the job description for the role of Operations Manager, and I am one hundred percent confident I have the necessary strong work ethics, qualities and determination to excel within the role. I already have experience of managing people and operations combined, and I know how important it is to not only take responsibility for everything that happens from an operational perspective, but also in respect of making sure my team hit their targets and they always maintain high standards. I want to become an Operations Manager simply because this is the role I am most comfortable in, and my natural skills, qualities and attributes are all geared up for becoming a highly competent and productive Operations Manager. If you hire me, I will not let you down.”
Q2. Why have you chosen our company to become an Operations Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I have chosen your company to become Operations Manager for three specific reasons. Reason number 1, is because you have a strong reputation within the industry for delivering consistently high results, and this means I will be able to perform my duties knowing I have the support of the organization. Reason number 2, is that you are clearly popular amongst your customers, which means that, providing I perform the role of Operations Manager to a high standard, I will have stable employment for many years to come. Finally, reason number 3, is because during my research into your company, you have clear rules and guidelines in respect of how you expect your operations to not only run, but to also be managed. This means, if I become your Operations Manager, I will be able to perform my duties and responsibilities by following strict company rules, policies and procedures, which is something I prefer to do. If you have set guidelines to follow as an Operations Manager, it is far easier to hit your targets and therefore help your employer meet their goals and objectives.”

On that basis, in preparation for your Operations Manager interview, make sure you have examples of where you have already worked under pressure, followed rules and procedures and managed people as part of a team.
INTERVIEW TIP NUMBER 2 – A strong and competent Operations Manager is effectively responsible for ensuring operational practices and processes are followed by the team members under his or her control. On that basis, during your interview you will need to demonstrate strong people management skills, and provide examples of when you have managed a difficult team and also managed an underperforming member of a team.

INTERVIEW TIP NUMBER 3 – The format of the Operations Manager interview will involve the assessment of leadership competencies that are based on the role. Whilst answering the situational type questions that will form part of the interview, we strongly advise you provide answers where you have already demonstrated the key skills and attributes required of this important management position. We cannot stress enough how important it is to ensure your answers explain what you did in a previous, similar situation, as opposed to what you would do if presented with the situation.
