For Example, How Have You

by Jay

“I’m ready to take the next step and become a manager.”

If you’re interviewing to become a manager for first time, the most powerful experience you can talk about is how you’ve been a leader without having a ‘manager’ title.

For example, how have you:

– improved processes for your team
– mentored teammates
– trained someone to do what you know how to do
– made a business case to get resources to solve a problem
– collaborated with other departments

Management does not equal leadership.

And you don’t need a title to lead.

If you think you want to become a manager someday, you should start building skills and demonstrating leadership *right now* where you are. 👊“I’m ready to take the next step and become a manager.”
