Hey everyone. I'm currently a softlines tm but I'm being "developed" for a TL position soon. However, my mentor has not been the greatest. I have NO idea whats going on. I asked her what kinds of stories I will need and her answer was "I will not give you the answers to your test. You're responsible for your own development". So im basically training myself for it. Can anyone give me any advice or insight on how the interview will be? Thanks in advance
 
Search the threads. It's been posted many times. Good luck on it! You want to keep it Target related and use the format Hardlinesmaster posts about. What work center are you in? Talk about your impact!
 
STAR interviews:
The answer to your question(s) are pretty simple. During your interview be honest and yourself. They will ask you 4-5 situational questions (total of 3 rounds I believe) just to see what type of leader you are. Remember to paint them a picture because what they are looking for in each question that you answer is to be outlined in the following way:

Situation - how does your answer relate to the question
Example: tell me about a time you had to make a tough decison
You - During college ect..... <--- you are painting them a picture so tehy can visually see your answer.
Task - what did you have to accomplish/what what was the issue or problem
Action - how did you solve this issue/what steps were taken.
Result - what was the final outcome.


Overall be upbeat. During the interview don't EVER put yourself down. Even with the famous questions "what is one think your previous supervisor would change or say that you need to work on." Turn the question about to something like: "One thing my past supervisor would stay that I can improve is sometimes I tend want to help out too much. If I see someone struggling I always try and offer assistance." Remember to turn a weakness into a strength (sorry I just got off work so if a lot does not make sense please don't blame me lol).

I have been given questions to interviews before. I can’t remember all those questions but they were like this:

Task that you had to prioritize or might ask about a situation and how you would prioritize it
Handling a dissatisfied guest or team member
When you went above and beyond
Any experiences you had leading a group to complete a task

Like Hardlinesmaster said use the three guidelines in your answer
