Assistant Grocery manager interview
So I have an interview for an assistant manager position at my store, I’ve been with the company for 2 months, I know you’re supposed to have been there for 6 months before you can move up but ghe GM said exceptions can be made for the right fit. So far I was told no one in the store applied for this position, but we have 2 outside people who applied. I’m not new to managing, I was a kitchen lead at my last game for 5 years who basically managed since the kitchen manager never really did his job. So I have an idea of managing but this is still very new to be. Before moving to a retail job, I’ve only ever worked kitchen jobs. Since moving to retail tho, I’ve learned how to do a lot of things. I’m just a dairy clerk so small department. I within weeks I’ve learned to do truck orders (I actually do the truck orders for dairy now). A lot of basic stuff like demo and transfers, marking down things for manager specials, ordering the thinstore periscope with zebras, among a few other things. I know grocery is the biggest department in the store so basically everything I’m doing now 10x. I’ve worked a few grocery shifts so I have an idea how it goes. The current grocery manager thinks I’ll be a good fit and already wants me to be his right hand man. But it’s up to the GM. I want to make a great impression on this interview so I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions on how I can ace this interview !
