Here are some few points as to why you should be adding your achievements to your CVs and in the way you interview. 

If you are not sure how to add them or do not know what your achievements are, contact us and we can help you get hired.

First of all, experienced recruiters and/or interview panelists understand very well that interview questions and responses are always governed by the role function and their seniority level. An interview for a role as a Manager will always focus mainly on your Know-How in the field and your Leadership Skills. Notwithstanding this, expect questions regarding your background, communication skills and conflict resolution skills, amongst other things.

So How do you prepare?
Simply, the key to interviewing well for a Manager job is to focus on using examples from your past experiences that will support your answers. Try to be more specific by mentioning figures, dates, places & names if you can. Giving an answer based on rhetoric or philosophy will not be enough to convince the interviewers that you are well experienced on the topic.
​

1. Energy and Enthusiasm: As with any other interview, show that you want to be there. You must convince an interviewer that you are excited about the company and the job.
2. Leadership Skills: You are a Manager and that means you must emphasize and showcase your leadership skills by providing examples. This will show interviewers that you are a strong leader.
3. Showcase your Interpersonal Skills: Communication related skills are essential because managers work with all kinds of people at different levels. During an interview try to maintain eye contact, a positive body language and let your personality shine. First impression matters greatly.
4. Align Your Strengths: Align your professional and personal strengths in a way that meet the needs of the company you are interviewing for. The only way you bring value to a company is by meeting their needs for the managerial position.

 
The best way to make these interviewing tips work for you is by practicing them whenever you can, when interviewing for a manager or even a supervisory job.
