Typical Retail Management Questions


I'm looking for some typical questions an interviewer asks, specifically for a retail store manager position (not big box). I have a small collection already, but looking to add to it- want to have all bases covered.


Thanks!

The typical questions you will be asked are as follows:

• How do you motivate employees to do as they are told?

• Describe a time when you were under extreme pressure to resolve a customer complaint. How did you overcome obstacles to satisfy your customer?

• What do you feel is the most important role of a store manager?

• Tell what your definition of "Customer" is.

Of course, depending upon who the retailer is, these questions can vary greatly.

As I say in my book on how to handle a variety of interview questions, the KEY is to look at what a typical retail manager would do.  They are in charge of the staff, responsible for profit and loss, and have to make a variety of decisions.

So the interview will tend to focus on a number of different situations to see if you have the managerial abilities.
