Supervisor Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of interview questions for the SUPERVISOR INTERVIEW:
Q1. Tell me about yourself?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I have studied the job description in detail and believe I have the relevant qualities to lead the team professionally and competently. I am a loyal and trustworthy leader who will support my senior manager’s in achieving the company targets and goals they set. I am self-motivated and can motivate a team towards achieving their full potential by quickly assessing each team member’s strengths, whilst also helping them to improve on their weak areas. I always focus intently on the strategic goals of an organization regardless of the pressure I am under and feel I am a very strong communicator and negotiator. I also have the ability to continually review my own performance to ensure I maintain and develop my skills, knowledge, and expertise to continually grow and develop with my employer. Finally, if I am given a task or project to complete, I will carry out my duties diligently and professionally and make good use of the people and resources I have available. I feel strongly that if you give me the opportunity to become your Supervisor you will be extremely pleased with my performance as I can be relied upon to meet my objectives efficiently and successfully.”
Q2. Why do you want to be a Supervisor?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being a Supervisor, and you need a unique and diverse set of skills to become competent at it. Throughout my career, I have been working towards becoming a Supervisor and I now feel I have the necessary skills, qualities, and attributes to become great in this role. I am confident I can lead and motivate a team towards achieving the goals of the company, whilst also encouraging them to consistently display the organization’s ethics and code of conduct in everything they do. I am very good at planning and organizing and would always ensure both my own and my team’s tasks were planned out the week before. I am also good at managing stress, identifying stress within the members of my team, and would always remain calm in difficult situations so I can then focus on coming up with suitable solutions for resolving any issues that come my way. I am a loyal employee, I take full responsibility for my actions, I will always maintain confidentiality when required and you can always trust me to fulfil my duties as a Supervisor within your company with great professionalism and pride. ”

Supervisor Job Brief:
The Supervisor role requires you to establish goals and tasks for all members of staff, including performance standards and deadlines. You will also be required to put systems in place that members of your team can follow when working towards the goals of the organization.
Supervisors have the responsibility of achieving the vision and mission laid out by the company they are working for, and they will achieve these through the delegation of key tasks within their team. They are also required to organize and monitor workflow, assess work performance and standards, and also monitor employee productivity against key set targets determined during employee appraisals.
Supervisors will often identify key training needs of the staff they are responsible for and provide relevant tuition and guidance where appropriate to allow members of their team to excel in their role.
Supervisor Assessable Key Skills, Qualities & Attributes:
- An ability to work under pressure, resolve difficult situations and make decisions in the best interests of the organization;
- Identify staff training needs and arrange for coaching and tuition on a periodic basis;
- Identify their own training needs and keep on top of Personal and Continuous Professional Development;
- Report directly to senior company managers and Directors and provide updates on performance;
- Arrange and attend company meetings as and when required and disseminate key meeting outcomes and objectives;
- Work to strict timescales and deadlines to ensure all work is carried out to the required standard as laid out by the organization;
- Conduct bi-annual appraisals of all staff and work on their strengths and also developing their weak areas;
- Set targets for members of staff within the team and monitor progress, providing support along the way.
5 TIPS FOR PASSING THE SUPERVISOR INTERVIEW!
TIP #1 – In order for Supervisors to be effective in their role, they have to work hard to achieve the goals and objectives of the company they are working for. During the Supervisor interview, we recommend you give details of when you have achieved positive things both in your life and professional career to date. If you have a track record of achievement, then you are far more likely to excel in your role as Supervisor for your chosen company.
TIP #2 – During the Supervisor’s interview, utilise positive keywords and phrases at every opportunity. The following keywords and phrases will portray you as a strong and effective Supervisor who is capable of achieving great things for the organisation you are being interviewed for:
- Highly-motivated and can be relied upon to deliver;
- Able to motivate my staff to enable them to be the best they can be;
- I am open to and positive about change and will always embrace new products, new services and new ways of working;
- I can work under pressure effectively and you can rely on me to perform in every type of situation;
- Apart from being accountable myself, I will also motivate and lead my team to ensure they are accountable for their actions too.
TIP #3 – Although being a Supervisor is not a senior or strategic position with a company, it is still a position that is extremely important and influential in the performance of a company. During your answers to the Supervisory interview, make sure you reference your understanding of how your performance in this role can have a positive or negative impact on company results. Being ‘strategically aware’ is a positive attribute to have as a Supervisor, and this will be attractive to any potential employer.
TIP #4 – Be prepared for a whole range of behavioural and competency-based type interview questions. Within the Supervisor Interview Questions and Answers guide we are offering you on this page, we have provided you with an abundance of sample questions, answers and tips for being the standout candidate at interview.
TIP #5 – At the end of your Supervisor interview, we recommend you ask the following two questions. These will ensure you come across as positive, motivated and also that you care about their company and its future performance:
QUESTION TO ASK #1 – I understand there is a huge responsibility that comes with the Supervisor’s role within your company. If I am successful, what is the first thing you would want me to concentrate on in the role and how can I help you improve company performance?
QUESTION TO ASK #2 – During my research I was looking into your competitors and none of them appear to be at the same level as you in terms of performance or customer service. Are all of your staff taught the company values and objectives so they can work towards these in everything they do?
