Trainee Manager Interview Question:

As you know this position often entails overtime, early mornings and late evenings. Are you willing to make sacrifices for the greater success of the branch?

Submitted by: Muhammad

I understand that sacrifices such as extra hours are necessary to the success of the branch, and I do what is best for the branch in order to set a good example. I am willing to make sacrifices and put in additional time when it is necessary, but I also aim to manage the time that I do have wisely and minimize the necessity of extra hours. Overtime is necessary if I cannot complete my tasks within the time allotted, and in that case, I will work extra. I won't do so, however, unless I am truly unable to handle all of the work I have in less time.
