Assistant Manager Interview Questions

I strongly focus in the basics of retail. Many people go after the fancy areas with marketing and decorations, social media, etc. I believe the customer ultimately wants a painless flow throughout the store from beginning to end. That means cleanliness, freshness, tidyness, availability and my personal obsession: pricing. I hate to see my cashiers running to check a wrong price while the customer waits, or even worse the customer come back with the receipt because they were overcharged.

My store is great, I love my customers and my team, but the store manager's been there for 10 years and I couldn't really go over him, so I'm looking for a place with room to grow and where I can build more experience. I like this area, and I think I'd fit great here.

I believe that if you're the manager you cannot really show that kind of feelings, is not well seen among the staff and will always bring trouble. I keep it professional, I know I'm not to be everyone's best friend but to get the job done.

Remain calm, listen to them, try to diffuse the situation and address the underlying issue.

Work hard and see the rewards
