即便你只是想要做个本本分分的小职员，也有可能会在面试中被问到关于上司和管理工作的问题。一位优秀的管理者或是领导人，自然需要具备很多特质或是条件，而这些特质或是条件，如果求职者可以具备的话，在面试中必然就会给你争取到更多的好感。
通常而言，管理阶层最重要的就是，必须让员工有干劲、有动力，要实现这一点，就要心胸开阔、善于倾听并且乐于倾听员工的意见，尽力创造出令人愉快的、积极向上的工作氛围。此外，管理者或是领导人也要有能力来整合、统领团队工作，要以明确的、始终如一的态度，表露出对下属的期待，肯定赞扬下属的成就，适时地给予下属建议、指引或是批评，促使下属改进完善自身的工作能力。
简言之，回答对上司的看法时，要注意以下3点：
称赞胜于攻击：对于上司的看法，尤其是对之前的上司的看法，最好不要有什么负面的评价。即便你真的要提到某位上司的缺点，也要尽量避免提到有损他人名誉的缺点。
不要说得太多：求职者被问及对上司的看法时，面试官通常都只是希望借着这个问题来侧面了解你的能力或是品行，语言应该以简明概括为佳，切忌长篇大论。
适时地肯定自身的特质：面试过程甚至可以说是分秒必争的，如果求职者可以巧妙地利用回答问题的机会，适时地展示出自身的特质，必然会争取到更多的印象分。
