Job Interview Questions: How to answer this job interview question (easy 10 points)?

I have an interview for the assistant manager position at an all girls store. I'm already a sale assosciate there, and the DM already prepared me with some questions for the regional manager. One of them is:

"How would you react if one of your employees weren't listening to you and not doing their job?"

Job Interviews: When Does Your Interview Really Begin?



Recommended Answer:
Tell them "Please listen. This is important. I enjoy having you work here and need you to do the work so I don't lose you!"

Always try to put a positive spin on any answer in a job interview.

The Easy Way to Answer Job Interview Questions


  • You could pull them aside, away from everyone else, and talk to them. Ask them politely why the job is not getting done. Also, you could ask them if they need clear instructions. Sometimes employees are having a bad day, so you could even help them out if they were. If this was a recurring problem, then you would need to go over the instructions again about what they should be doing. The main thing, is that you would pull them aside, so know one else can hear, and ask them if everything's okay and what should be getting done. :)

  • You really don't want to too far into the extremes. Those being A) Fire them on the spot or B) Brush it off

    The best answer for this situation with limited context is to go in the middle of A and B. You want to approach this worker and determine the reason for not doing the job. Explain to them the circumstances of their job and be not too stern and not too soft. You could say "I would ask the worker why they aren't doing their job and tell them ways that they can improve" If the worker doesn't improve for whatever reason, you should fire and find a replacement.

    That's how I would do it. Good Luck.

  • Either one of two things.

    1. ) "Your mother."

    or

    2. ) Give him only 1 warning telling him that he was being disrespectful to both the boss by not doing the job, and the employees by not doing the job. Then say that there are people out there that would kill to have some type of job.

  • I would probably go over to them and just flat out say "if you don't step it up, you're getting fired, and I mean it." In a stern tone. They should listen to you!

  • Blackies are so mainstream.
    Mothers are so mainstream.
    Dans are so mainstream.

  • FIRE THEM !!

    that way you can hire NEW employees for less money !!

  • In the words of the Trump" Your Fired!"

  • " I would get their attention, and get them on task."

  • Say you would fire them on the spot, or at least threaten to replace them with someone who has lost their job.

  • be mad

  • i just said id inform my superviser, employers like rats

  • I would say "Holy ****! What the **** are you doing?! Get to work!

    Jk
