Does anyone have advise for a interview for a supervisor position?

I have a interview for a supervisor position this Thursday, but I dont have any supervisory skills. It's a position in child welfare, and I have been working in the field since 2005 but never as a supervisior. Can anyone give me advise for the interview? This will be my first interview for a supervisior postion and I'm kind of nervous...please help!!Does anyone have advise for a interview for a supervisor position?
Congratulations on the upcoming interview!


1) You mention you have no supervisory experience in child welfare, but what about in your life? Do you have kids? If so, trust me, you have supervisory experience. Managing people in your personal life (particularly your children) Takes a lot of skill and the talents you use to accomplish this are the same talents you’d use in the world of work. In other words, we’re talking about “transferable skills”. BTW: It seems to me that if you’re a caseworker, you’re supervising case loads all the time.


2) Having no skills in this field as a supervisor means that you would come into this position with no bad habits. You are highly trainable. That is a plus. Let it be known that you are open to learning and growing on the job and that doing an excellent job as a supervisor would be of paramount importance to you.


3) Ask them what they’re looking for in a supervisor. They may say experience, but it’s more than likely that they’ll tell you they’re looking for someone who is just, who listens and observes well, who will stay on top of the issues at hand with her people.


Good luck! I’d love to know how it works out for you.

be confident; point out what you have done; and how good it done; say you r a good listener; have patient; fair; have a good team work; high stander on ethic; fast learner;good organizer; most you r in good health; stress wont let you down. point out what you want to do with your life; want more advance in your line of work; how much would you be good and importance to the company to hire you...BE YOURSELF...BE CONFIDENT..KEEP YOUR HEAD HIGH..SIT STRAIGHT. LOOK STRAIGHT IN THE EYE OF INTERVIEWER WHILE YOU ANSWER QUESTION..DO ASK QUESTION IF YOU CAN NOT ANSWER RIGHT AWAY...ETC......GOOD LUCK
Do some homework on the supervisor position and see if there any more positions you can look up to read more about the position details. Memorize all the details and be confident. Strong and forthcoming are two great interviewing skills. Good luck.
The only advise is, be honest. Tell them that you don't have the experience, but you are willing to learn and are looking forward to take new responsibilities.
convince them on how good a job you will do and am good learner
