  • Hello there, my name is Richard McMunn from the interview training company PassMyInterview.com

  • and in this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to answer the interview question: Why

  • do you want to be a Manager? If you are being interviewed for any manager interview whatsoever,

  • with any organization from across the world, there is a strong possibility they will ask

  • you at the interview, why do you want to be a manager? And in this tutorial, I'm going

  • to give you THREE BRILLIANT ANSWERS to this interview question. All you need to do is

  • pick the one that's best for you! So, before I get into those answers to the interview

  • question, why you want to be a manager? Welcome to this interview training tutorial. My name

  • is Richard McMunn. That's me there in the center, the bald chap! I've been a manager

  • myself for many, many years. And I set up this YouTube channel specifically to give

  • you top-scoring answers for common interview questions that you can't find anywhere else.

  • We now have over 220,000 subscribers, so please do make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss

  • out on any of the weekly training videos I'm uploading. Lots and lots of you, literally

  • hundreds and hundreds of you, are passing your job interviews as a result of these videos.

  • I absolutely love creating them for you, but I would very much appreciate it if you gave

  • the video a LIKE. Thank you very much. Because that always tells me that you enjoy the content,

  • and therefore, I will dedicate more time for you to create these videos. So, how do we

  • answer the interview questionWhy do you want to be a Manager? Let me give you a couple

  • of really important tips before I give you those three sample answers. So, NUMBER ONE:

  • in your answer to the interview question, why you want to be a manager, tell the interview

  • panel the skills and qualities that you have that are relevant to the role of a manager.

  • And I'll give you a few of those in my answer. We have to tell them the skills and qualities

  • that we have, an ability to manage people, an ability to motivate others, lead them to

  • continually grow and develop, and also most importantly, making sure that everything you

  • do within a manager role is aligned to the objectives of the organization. That's very

  • important. TIP NUMBER TWO: you have to explain any relevant experience you have gained in

  • your career to date that will help you perform to a high standard as a manager. Now, you

  • don't have to have been a manager previously to have experience of performing well as a

  • manager. But just talk about any experience you have: Problem solving. Working under pressure,

  • and also achieving great things for the company that you've been working for! TIP NUMBER THREE:

  • show you understand, the level of responsibility and accountability that comes with being a

  • manager for any organization. And you can just say… “I totally understand, that

  • as a manager, I have a huge amount of responsibility and accountability to deliver on my promises

  • and help you achieve your commercial and financial objectives.” That statement in itself is

  • very powerful. So, let's now take a look at 3 BRILLIANT ANSWERS to the interview question:

  • Why do you want to be a manager? My advice is to pause the video after each answer, take

  • notes and you can write it down word for word if you want to, and then use it during your

  • manager interview. Here we go. NUMBER ONE: “I want to be a manager because, having

  • studied the job description in detail, I feel confident I have the necessary skills, qualities

  • and experience to excel within the role. I am enthusiastic, professional and driven.

  • I am able to motivate a team to get them achieving consistent results. The work I carry out as

  • a manger will always be totally focused on the organization’s commercial and financial

  • objectives, and I will always take my own professional development as a manager seriously.

  • Finally, over the years I have gained the necessary experience to hit the ground running

  • as a manager, so I feel one hundred percent confident you will see an immediate and positive

  • impact if I am successful at interview today.” GET IT!! That is a brilliant answer to the

  • interview question: Why do you want to be a Manager? What I like about it is it's very

  • positive in nature. So when you deliver your answer, be positive, be enthusiastic, you

  • know, use positive hand gestures, show that you really, really want this job. That's a

  • great answer! Let's have a look at answer option number two to the interview question,

  • Why do you want to be a Manager? “I am someone who prefers to have the responsibility that

  • comes with being a company manger, and the leadership and motivational skills I possess

  • will enable me to perform to a high standard within the role. I have many yearsexperience

  • achieving consistent results for my employer. I feel I have a natural ability to get the

  • most out of a team by making them feel valued, encouraging them to be the best they can be,

  • and above all, ensuring the work they carry out is strategically aligned to the company’s

  • financial goals and objectives. If you hire me as your manager, I will work hard to demonstrate

  • to you that youve made the right choice in hiring me, and that I can consistently

  • exceed expectations on a monthly basis.” Another brilliant answer to that manager interview

  • question! So, in a second, I'm going to give you the final one and then tell me which one

  • you think is the best answer to the interview question, Why do you want to be a manager?

  • Option 1, option 2 or option 3? Tell me in the comments section below. Here is the final

  • answer. Here we go. “Being a manager is a decision that should not be taken lightly,

  • and I have considered carefully the level of responsibility that comes with the role.

  • As a manager, you have to perform to a high standard every day whilst at work. You have

  • to set a good example to others, and you always have to act as a positive role model for the

  • company, especially when dealing with customers and stakeholders. I want to be a manager because

  • I feel I will thrive under the pressure that comes with the role. I get the most job satisfaction

  • when I am able to influence those I am responsible for to help them achieve consistently high

  • results, and also help them to develop on a regular basis so we can achieve our organizational

  • objectives.” Another great answer! So, I'm not sure which is the best one? Option 1,
