How can I get a SERIOUS manager?
373121
The first thing you need is something that a manager can promote and manage for you. Talent and desire is not enough, you need a product!\n\nAre you gigging? Writing and recording? Building up a local following? If not, then that is where you need to start.\n\nIf you are performing, then ask around - the people who run music clubs are normally pretty clued in as to who is who, as are local journalists etc, and they may be able to put you in touch with someone. I have worked as a manager with a few bands in the past, and a recommendation from someone else whose opinion I valued was always the best way to get my attention.\n\nYou will also need demo tapes / cds, and a collection of press cuttings / reviews never goes amiss. By all means, send them off "cold", but don't be surprised if they just get put straight in the bin at the other end.\n\nPerhaps the best advice is to act as your own manager to begin with. If you have enough talent to "make it" you will begin to make waves and once those waves reach a certain point you will find managers begin to approach you, not the other way round!

Most good managerial positions require some real life experience because you gonna be dealing with the real world and no more theory like in class.  You can get it if at all you're the only one who has applied for it and whoever is advertising the job is that desperate which in the present  modern world doesn't seem to happen very often. There is a lotta competition out there and you better be ready when the opportunity pops up. You are most likely to start off as a junior manager.  I think it is more comfortable from that position while you're learning from the seniors.

I'm sorry but they don't exist at entry level. If you have a decent amount of relevant experience or training, though, you may be able to pull a managerial job. In customer service, that's where all the money is.

Everything "rises and falls on leadership".  You need to find a job where the managers are 'people helpers' and not 'paper pushers'.  Too many times the manager is being stressed out by the documentation of the job and they forget the people who do the work that gets them their numbers.  I work for a 'paper pusher' and she is no help at all.  I've had to learn everything on my own.  The other managers at this job are 'people helpers' and they've helped me more than my district manager.  \n\nQuit this job.  \n\nLife is too short to go to a job you dislike each day.

As with ALL managers, REMEMBER your people !!!!!  They are what make you strong,   Depend on their knowledge, listen to them, don't be over-bearing.\n\nYour people know more about  their job than you do.  Listen to them.  Don't be too proud to ask them why they do what they do.  Let them explain it to you.....LEARN from then.  Respect them!!!!!

I think it depends on what type of manager.  I'm in middle management and feel like I'm basically a glorified babysitter.  I have to make sure my staff is doing their jobs, getting results in a timely manner.  I have to reprimand them when they do wrong and give them kudos when they do good.

Show you're interested and wait about a week. During the week find out who the manager or main supervisor is. Be forward and ask if they have had a chance to look at your application, if so then they would have called you if you were qualified. If not, take the chance to schedule an interview and ask if you can come in to discuss your application so it will be sort of like a pre interview. It shows that you can be assertive and straigtforward but not too agressive....

As a manager who does countless interviews, these are the things I look for:\n1)Enthusiasm for the job - dont be apathetic- act interested for pete's sake\n2)Ask questions...about the position or the company, or whatever..it just shows you are interested.\n3)Be prepared...do your homework - know at least a bit about the company\n4) Sounds petty but BRING YOUR OWN PEN...otherwise you appear unprepared and this tells a lot about your work habits.\n5)Be able to explain in gaps in employment, short term jobs etc in a clear manner.\n6)Practice your interview before you go...get a friend to help if possible.\n7) Easier said than done I know but RELAX and be yourself.\nThe bottom line is this...an interviewer wants to know that you are going to be the best fit for the job - they want to know that you can not only DO the job, but that you are going to have a great attitude, and be a dependable, reliable employee. It costs companies money to train people even for the smallest job. They want to know that you are going to be worth their investment.

Try to do what you are told and have as little contact as possible. Depends on politics also. My guess is they paying him or her next to nothing and if does not work out, next, and the next will be the same hungry bend over backwards useless manager. This is a typical cheap corporate way of not paying for good help. I would also look at the bosses boss or the company for that matter. This may not be the company you want to work at.

Just go right over the top of her. Have a group meeting with the owner and voice your concerns. Ask the owner if they will talk to the manager directly, or if you think that would run downhill to everyone else, see if the owner will 'stop in' once in a while or possibly pick up a short shift. Doing that would keep the manager in line a little better or maybe the owner would catch them in the act of whatever and you could notify the owner of repeat offenses. Also putting a customer feedback box or something would inform the owner of bad 'tude from your manager.

You can approach events and exhibition companies. They may have qualified leads in your area of business. That will satisfy your management desire for instant action. That said, spam mail are not welcomed. Best is to have personal follow-ups. The other method is to harvest it yourself. It only takes some patience and a bit of resourcefulness.

I agree. If you are doing a good job then you need to speak up. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Managers have a lot of things to do. If you work hard and are not being recognized you need to make yourself known to them. I have had multiple management positions and for all of them I just walked up and asked my manager what I needed to do to get a promotion. Many managers enjoy straight people who just go up to them and are bold and confident.

The suggestions above will work well with most managers, but there are some who have more specific ways of working that make day-to-day interaction challenging. Here are some typical "difficult boss"personalities and remedies for dealing with them.\n\nBoss type: The Micro-Manager (controlling, overly involved)\nRemedy: Your boss needs to develop more confidence in you. Begin by asking for complete responsibility on smaller tasks and then work your way up to bigger tasks. Be sure to deliver consistently excellent work or you may lose that trust quickly.\n\n\nBoss type: The Non-Manager (indecisive, hesitant, vague)\nRemedy: Instead of asking open-ended questions, give him a few choices and one clear recommendation. Counteract vagueness by asking for clarification. Avoid procrastination on your boss's part by communicating your deadlines and following up on what you need.\n\n\nBoss type: The Unreasonable Manager (crushes you with work)\nRemedy: Schedule a meeting to discuss priorities and options for what you can and cannot handle. Suggest bringing in a contractor to help during peak periods.
