Here’s the FULL LIST of SHIFT MANAGER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become a Shift Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I have studied both the job description and the IBM work culture in detail prior to applying and I feel strongly I have the necessary qualities, skills and experience to excel here. I always take ownership of situations; I work hard and always to a high standard; I can be relied upon to solve challenging problems and make the right decisions that are in the best interests of the organization, and I have a passion for my work and a drive to succeed. For example, in my previous job my manager always praised me during my annual performance reviews for my strong work ethic and my ability to bring a positivity to the team. I understand there comes a lot of responsibility working for a company such as IBM, and I can assure you I will make a positive and sustainable impact if you hire me within this position.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our company as the Shift Manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work at IBM because you have a strong set of values, you clearly have total commitment to not just your employees, but to your customers and clients too. This is an organization I will be able to grow, thrive and develop long-term, and I will get to work alongside an immensely talented group of people who are all passionate about the future success of the IBM brand. I have researched the history of IBM, the customer reviews that are left online and also feedback from current and former employees of the company. There hasn’t been one thing that put me off about working for IBM and I see this as a unique opportunity where I can really put my skills and qualities to good use. If you hire me in this position, I will not let you down.”
