Job Interview Success - How to Go After Your Dream Job

Recommended Answer:
Have you watched the Apprentice? 1. Play to people's strengths. E.g. If a task needs organisational skills & technical skills, give the former to the person who is a good organiser & the latter to someone with the technical skills. 2. Treat people differently - some people respond best to being treated in a certain manner.

Job Interview Preparation - Three Key Steps

• What interviewers are normally looking for when they ask questions like this is whether or not you are a hands on manager or a more laid-back, flexible manager. I've been asked questions about the different styles of managers that I've had and how I have dealt with them. Managerial styles I have worked for/with are the following:
  -1) One was very specific in the product they received and the process by which is got there. What I mean by this is that they gave a task, and gave specific instructions on what they wanted of the task, and how that task should be done. This is usually referred to as micro-managing. Basically, this type of manager is someone who does not delegate well, and leaves their employees with very little flexibility. While this leads to a very consistent and usually high quality product (i.e. the task is usually done correctly), it tends to be very inefficient (manager spends too much time standing over the employees) and often creates a more unhappy work environment.
  
  2) The other form of management is a more laid back manager, who gives a little bit more trusts to their employees in how they get a task done. While they still expect a higher quality product/result, they give their employees a little more flexibility in how they get it done. This should lead to better productivity from your employees (happier = higher productivity),however the "product" of the task may vary. However, this is usually a better method for managers as they tend to be much less stressed out. They are also spending less time micro-managing and thus can get much more done themselves. This style of management generally comes from experience.
