31 Club Manager Questions and Answers:

1 :: How would you deal with an upset customer?

I would find out what is wrong with the customer. If it was the product I would offer to replace it (mention you would check with your manager first). If the customer was unhappy because they could not find a particular item I would find it for them and not just point them in a general direction.
Say you feel it is important to keep the customer happy as an unhappy customer will never return.

2 :: How would you describe the application and interview process here?

The application process was online. They had a kiosk you would go to and fill out. The interview process was rather quick. It’s your basic straightforward questions, like what you see yourself doing in such amount of time, how you can help the company.

3 :: I don’t expect you to go into too much detail – but why are you leaving your last job as Club Manager?

An innocent question. But a question that if answered improperly, can be a deal breaker. While many individuals will be looking to a new job as a means of increasing their salary, “not being paid well enough at your last job” is not something you want to mention to your interviewer. After all, are you not likely to leave this particular job if you found you could make more down the street?

4 :: Can you tell me a little bit about yourself now?

This is often when an interviewer starts and boy can it be intimidating to field this open-ended question. It’s important to know that the answer to this question should be focused and relevant to the job you’re applying for while revealing a little about your personality. You should come up with a personal elevator pitch that is appropriate for the type of job you’re trying to land. You might start with an extremely brief personal bio – where you went to school, what your primary school interest is, if you’ve had another job before. Bridge into talking about your specific interests that align with the job at hand (e.g. if it’s a sales position you might talk about how comfortable you are with people).

6 :: I like what I’m hearing but we’ve got a ton of great candidates. Why should we hire you as Club Manager?

An easy question to answer well with one caveat – don’t slam your fellow interviewee’s. On the one hand, you have an opportunity to really stand out from the pack. Alternatively, You shouldn’t assume the skills of other applicants. Focus on your own strengths, and if the interviewer hasn’t given you an opportunity to mention that one “slam dunk” quality about yourself, now would be the time.

Is there a wrong way to answer this question? Consider the responses below:

☛ “I really need a job right now”
☛ “I need the money”
☛ “Your office is really close to my house”
☛ “I’ve always been interested in what you guys do”

7 :: Why should I hire you as Club Manager?

For this question, you want to reread the job description and find key skills they are looking for and restate those skills. For example, suppose I was applying for a position of Cashier. More than likely they will be looking for people with great communication skills, quick learner, and someone with an attention to detail. So in the example of a cashier interview, when asked why should I hire you state

☛ I have great communication skills and will work well with other customers.

If this is your first job tell them you have been focusing on school and now you are excited to prove yourself in the workforce.

9 :: What experience do you have with respects to this particular as Club Manager?

Ever since my first paper route at age 10 I’ve been doing something to keep myself busy and earn money. Back then, it was obviously about earning some spending money. What I didn’t realize was that I was actually starting the journey of establishing what I liked to do and how I fit in to the grand scheme of things. I then worked as a junior computer tech in my last 2 summers of high school. It was here that I discovered what I was passionate about and what I wanted to do. I enrolled in college to get my degree in computer sciences, and I have been working around technology ever since.
