- For this question, they want to learn about how your previous work experience matches the position of general manager. They are looking for people who have experience in customer relations, restaurant maintenance and repair, inventory management, team management, recruiting and retention of team members, and financial accountability. If you have experience in any of the above now is the time to mention it.

- Say you enjoy the challenge and think you can learn a lot by managing a $1 million+ business. You can also state you enjoy mentoring and coaching others.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
- The next logical step is to become a franchise owner one day. If you are lucky enough to work in Louisville, Kentucky have a look at their corporate jobs and see if there is a position for you.
What are your salary expectations?
- Talent.com has an average salary of $50K. With the upper salary being $100K and the lower range 46K. If you live in a city with a high cost of living shoot high. If you don’t feel comfortable stating a salary you can always flip the question and ask what is the range.
Why should I hire you?
For this question, you need to reread the job description and find key skills they are looking for and restate those skills. After rereading the job description below is what I found:
- A natural leader, you want to be captain because you can bring together a winning team (skill: leadership).
- We have a GREAT culture and look for GREAT people to add to our family. You know who you are –honest, energetic, motivational, and fun (skill: motivational skills).

- State you have excellent motivational skills and realize how important it is to keep the team’s moral high.
- Finally, mention you pay great attention to detail and will not have an issue directing the daily operations of a restaurant ensuring compliance with company standards.
How do you motivate employees?
- Say many people think money is a great motivator but that is not always the case. I always make sure I take the time to praise my team members for a job well done.
How would you fire someone?
- I would put them on a performance review first. They have a right to know what they are doing wrong. But first I would consult the KFC guidelines.
Do you have any questions for us?
- If I were to start tomorrow what would be my top priority?
