1. Who do you plan to interview? Why?
For my first interview, I will be interviewing Brice Cocjin, my father and the Warehouse Operations Manager at Unical Aviation, Inc. My father's management career began at the Costco Wholesale in Azusa, where he was a manager for 12 years. Now at Unical, it's safe to say that he has a pretty good idea of what management is, what it requires, and the many types of personalities one comes to face in a leadership position. An Operations Manager not only has to deal with customers, procurement, and quality assurance, but also the heartbeat of the warehouse: receiving, inventory control, shipping, and general warehouse logistics.
2. You have to ask 5 questions. What additional questions (aside from the required) do you plan to ask?
- What do you believe is one important factor in being an effective manager?
- As a distribution warehouse, why is having a functioning team fundamental for productivity?
- What are difficult scenarios you had to deal with as a manager?
- How does technology (chiefly software such as the Quantum system or the IBM system) help to run the warehouse?
- What do you look for in employees when conducting reviews?
- How important is "attention to detail" for cataloging parts?
- Every manager has a method or way of organizing their "team"; what qualities do you have that sets you apart from the average joe?
- Every once in a while you get that one employee (
group member) that shows lack of precision in their work; how do you properly deal with such an individual?
