Since the late 19th Century, when our forebearers began the transition from animal and human-powered transportation (think oxen or horse-drawn carriages and bicycles) to the earliest cars, the automotive industry has seen a tremendous amount of change. Nearly every aspect of the way cars are designed and manufactured has undergone near continuous transformation. Through all that change, the industry continues to grow and evolve.

The earliest horse-less buggies had a 4-stroke, single cylinder engine that could reach top speeds of about 10 miles per hour. While they could be outpaced by the pedal-power of a human operated bicycle, designers weren’t deterred and soon bigger, more powerful engines were being designed and built.

Every few weeks we pose a question you might get asked during an interview and a suggestion on how you might formulate your answer.

This week’s question:

Sometimes we take on supervisory roles even though our job titles may not reflect that position. If you don’t think you’ve had formal supervisory experience, consider any involvement you’ve had as a leader, or even co-leader. As you formulate your answer, ask yourself: Have you led or organized any groups such as a youth sports team, parent-teacher programs, or worked on events within your community? Raised children? Coordinated the actions of others for common goals? You have definitely been a supervisor! Use a PAR statement to describe your effectiveness as a supervisor, or group leader, and how you think you can do specific things for the company where you are applying. Emphasize, if you can, detailed actions you’ve taken, along with their positive results. Keep your response as relevant and brief as possible, offering any similarities between what you’ve done, and what the employer needs.
