How Do You Manage Expectations – Interview Question


Listen Later

How do you manage expectations or how do you manage the expectations of your manager are both interview questions you should expect to be asked in pretty much any interview you attend.  

How you manage expectations at work is such a critical skill for everyone, and in particular anyone managing people.

 If you manage expectations well, then you will be:

1.            Easier to work with

2.            Colleagues will like you more - because you don’t let them down 

3.            You are perceived as 

       a.            more professional

       b.            a better team player

       c.            better at your job

 These are all qualities that any interviewer will want in anyone they hire into a professional or managerial role. 

 I take you through 8 suggestions of what to include in your interview question answer and at the end of the video, I share two example answers. 

 Before you start putting together your answer to the interview question “How do you manage expectations” it is sensible to understand why the interviewer is asking this question and what they hope to get out of your interview question answer. 

 With all interview questions and answers you are looking to hit all of the key points the interviewer is looking for in your answer. 

 “How do you manage your managers expectations” is another variation on this manage expectations interview question, often asked by your line manager for obvious reasons. 

 Your interview question answer should cover the same key points. 

 Choose the best and most relevant example to include into your interview question answer as this provides some “proof” that you can do what you say you can. 

 Good luck in your interviews!
