consistency whilst also following organizational rules policies and procedures those things are really really important we're going to focus on demonstrating them during the answers to the operations manager interview questions so let's get straight into them question number one tell me about yourself and why you want to become an operations manager here's my suggested answer i am very well organized conscientious and professional in relation to the tasks that i undertake at work i have spent time reading the job description for the role of operations manager and i am 100 confident i had the necessary strong work ethics qualities and the determination to excel within the role i already have experience of managing people and operations combined and i know how important it is to not only take responsibility for everything that happens from an operational perspective but also in respect of making sure my team hit their targets and they always maintain high standards i want to become an operations manager simply because this is the role i am most comfortable in and my natural skills my qualities and my attributes are all geared up for becoming a highly competent and productive operations manager if you hire me i will not let you down so that's a strong answer that gets you off on a strong footing during the first question of your operations manager interview now i'm going to move on to a number of other questions and answers um but if you want to download a copy of these i will tell you we can get access to them as we progress through this tutorial so please do stick around why have you chosen our company to become an operations manager so many many companies employ operations manage managers why have you chosen that here's my suggested answer i've chosen your company to become operations manager for three specific reasons reason number one is because you have a strong reputation within the industry for delivering consistently high results and this means i will be able to perform my duties knowing i have the support of the organization reason number two is that you are clearly popular amongst your customers which means that providing i perform the role of operations manager to a high standard i will have stable employment for many years to come finally reason number three is because during my research into your company you have clear rules and guidelines in respect to how you expect your operations to not only be run but to also be managed this means if i become your operations manager i will be able to perform my duties and responsibilities by following strict company rules policies and procedures which is something i actually prefer to do if you have set guidelines to follow as an operations manager it is far easier to hit your targets and therefore help your employer meet their goals and objectives so that gives three specific reasons why you have chosen their company to be operations manager and they are good strong reasons next question which part of the job will you find the most challenging in the first four weeks of starting as our operations manager so this assesses it's a very clever question it's a tough one this assesses your knowledge of the role that you're being interviewed for but it also assesses your understanding of perhaps your weaknesses or which areas you would find the toughest so here is my suggested answer having read and studied the job description and the person specification in detail i feel i have a pretty strong grasp of the type of work i will be doing in the early days of becoming your operations manager in respect of which aspects i would find the most challenging that would have to be quickly but diligently reading up on and implementing the operational policies and procedures i would need to adhere to in order to ensure my team performs to the necessary standards in the role of operations manager there is no time to waste and you don't get a betting in period where you have the luxury to learn the role at a steady pace you simply have to get up and running fully from the get-go so the organization can maintain full operational capacity having said that if i'm successful today and you hire me to become your operations manager i plan to do some homework reading up on the operational procedures so i can literally be fully up and running as soon as i start that's a great answer to that question it shows that you understand what's going on in the role and which will be the challenging bits and also the benefit for them that you want to get up and running as soon as possible now i'm going to give you a couple more interview questions for your operations manager interview and but if you want to download the full set of operations manager interview questions and answers in a guide format click that link in the top right hand corner of that video and it will take you through to my website where you can find out more about how to download them next question what are the qualities of a good operations manager here's my answer the qualities are essentially those that i read in the job description for the position they are an ability to follow operational rules and procedures ensuring safety protocol is followed at all times by all staff managing your staff to ensure the organization's mission is accomplished being a strong communicator so that your team understand their daily goals and tasks being positive about and open to change as the organization has to continually change in order to be successful and also an understanding of how important it is to operate with speed efficiency and accuracy time is basically money and the operational aspect of a business must be fast to a very high standard and a bubble consistent another strong solid answer next question here's a tricky one describe your style of management will you be an easy going operations manager or will you take a firm approach to managing people and our operations here's my suggested answer my style of management will be firm but fair one of the first things i will do if i'm successful in becoming your operations manager is ensure all staff are aware of the required standards expected of them unless you set high standards things will go wrong and as your operations manager i do not want things to either be missed targets not to be achieved or delays in any of the operations that i am responsible for now although i intend being firm in my approach to management i will also be approachable and i will always support my team in the function of their duties if the team performs well they will get praised and they will get rewarded to summarize i will be an operations manager who sets very high standards but i will support inspire and motivate my team to be the best they possibly can be so that's a really good answer once again so like i said if you want to download the full set of operations manager interview questions and
