How to get supervisor or management experience?
Asked by raul3
I am currently in school and work a full time job in my field of study. I am looking to the future and all of the jobs I would need my BS to apply for also ask for some type of management experience. I have about twenty hours a week I can commit to this. I would rather get paid but am not opposed to volunteering so long as I receive solid management experience.

Best Answer:
Join some organizations on campus and try to become an officer (President, Vice President) etc. Or just volunteer to be head of some committees. When you are being considered for a management position, they usually ask questions like "Tell me about a time you were in charge of a group of people." "Tell me what you did to motivate people in a group." etc.

Go to the Job service on your campus and look at the postings. Make an appointment to see a job counselor and tell them just what you asked on this question. You could end up working for the school in a management position, you never know until you ask.

depending on the company size it will be difficult for you to jump into a manager position. instead look for job that offer management training. many companies offer a track to a manager position after 1-3 years on the job. ask about these tracks specifically. in the meantime get all the leadership experience you can. whether it is leading a group project in class or extra activities. that way you can show your leadership potential. good luck.
