How about something like "has plenty of opportunities for advancement within your firm."  People usually like to hire someone who will want to move up as they gain experience. Promoting someone into a position is more effective for an employer than hiring and orienting a new person at each level.  If you are looking for opportunities, you are also expecting to stay awhile.  Turnover is a constant problem.  \n\nOf course, if it is clear to you that opportunities for advancement are very limited (for example, if the position for which you are applying is at or near the top already), then something mundane like "recognizes and rewards competent and faithful service."  \n\nThey are looking for something honorable and noble, something that is in their interests, not just a reference to being paid well and having good benefits!

I had a great boss at my last workplace.  Here are some of the reasons why I thought so:\n\n1. Led by example.  He treated the office as a family, cared about the people, and he was personally very committed and hard working therefore, the people tended to be more committed and hard working.  We actually worked with a sister company under the same president and CEO.  just the two division were run day to day by different General Managers.  Yet this culture and attitude of the two divisions was night and day, and I definitely attribute the better working environment to the personality of our General Manager (my boss).\n\n2. Had an open door and fought to get rid of the institutional/corporate roadblocks for me to be able to accomplish my job.\n\n3. Unafraid to make tough decisions and stand up for them.  Overall, I think leadership has a lot to do with character and confidence.  Confident and secure people tend to not be the ones who fly off the handle for no reason and are unafraid to be decisive and not waffle about.

Just be positive, and know you can do this. People are always looking for someone that want to be at work and help the company grow and make profit. Just let them think that you will be a positive aspect for them. Always act upbeat, and know what you are doing.

A lot of times people don't give a fresher manager a chance because they don't always know what has to be done.  That doesn't necessarily mean being a new manager is a downfall.  It means you can take creative steps to fixing what isn't working right.  If you are a new manager, take the first step in asking your staff to help you with suggestions or bring things to your attention.  Experience helps in making decisions.  BUT you need the right balance of experience and new attitude to make things easier.  A lot of experienced managers walk into a new department make changes that fit into a mold of what he or she sees needs done.  But he or she doesn't realize how it actually affects the team.  Be sure to pay some attention to your staff's morale and give praise as much as you do criticism.\n\nWhen you can, check out some seminars to help with leadership skills.  Also, make sure to work on some public speaking skills so you can conduct good staff and board meetings.

A manager should be knowledgeable about what his group does. That does not be an expert in every detail, but understands the processes that the group is responsible for. A manager should be knowledgeable about all of the people in the group, their strengths and weaknesses. A good manager will provide the means for individuals to improve their weaknesses.\n\nA manager should be goal oriented. He should be able to communicate that goal to everyone in the group and have them understand how they contribute to reaching that goal. He should also challenge each individual to define and reach their own individual goals within the group.\n\nA manager must also determine the best way to utilize his resources (people and tools) to efficiently reach goals. Maintaining a respectful relationship with all team members is key. As is resolving any interpersonal problems that will inevitably arise at some time or other.\n\nGood communication skills and being fair to everyone will make managing a group easier. Everyone should know the standards expected of them. Firmly enforcing those standards with everyone while being flexible regarding individual circumstances will reflect well on the manager.

Well, I do management studies so...\n\n1. Employees expect their managers to have a good communication skill, to enforce employee-manager relations. It will allow employees to feel more comfortable with their managers and will not hesitate if they need help in anything.\n\n2. Employees also expect their employers to be ready and be prepared for all decision making. Employees expect their managers to posess decision making skills and that the organization or firm will be able to run smoothly.\n\n3. Employees expect their managers to treat their employees with respect and fairness. They expect their managers to be able to notice them and give appropriate promotions if neccessary\n\n4. Employees also expect their managers to be responsible and have some ground rules towards their employees\n\n5. Lastly Technical skills are needed. the managers themselves need to know how the company works and also how the product is been made. Mostly they need to know the how and why of the products

As mentioned above, a follow up may be good or bad, but, I would try a follow up as it show more of your interest in the position and motivation.\nTry something like this, modified to your preference.\nTo whomever;\nI enjoyed the opportunity to interview for the position of ________ and thank you for considering me. I wanted to follow up on what we discussed in the initial interview of speaking with the GM. Being a motivated person I would like to know if this will be possible in the near future, as I do want to be considered for this position, but, if I am not being considered would like to be informed as I will pursue other alternatives for employment. Thank you for your time. Sincerely Blah, Blah.

Definitely MEN!  Women who go after these jobs are usually the kind who feel they need to prove something and that is no fun to work for!!!  I know some women who would be great managers, but I don't think that's their cup of tea.  Too bad, too.  (:

do research on the company, read there mission statement. this will help impress them with the fact you checked out the company. if they are a company that wants to expand, tell them you are interested in expanding with them and would take any job that would enable you to learn the most about the company to further your advancement. relax and smile.

Honesty is the best policy. When promoting people you must be able to trust that they will act with integrity. The main question for management will be, how can you ensure this not occurring if you receive the promotion?

"As an employer, do you find physically attractive person to be of advantage to the organisation ?"\n\nI think that's a very good question to put in ur questionnaires !\n:)

"What's your weakness?" : Something like, "I'm a bit of a control freak, I like to make sure that eveything is going smoothly, and the only way I can do that is to be in total control. I need to learn to delegate more". Makes you sound like you're a workaholic, they love that sort of sh*t.\n\n"Where do you see yourself in five years?" : Not sure, I'd probably plump for something like "I'd like to develop the skills I have now, and be in a position to be able to pass the knowledge and experience I've gained to the other members of my team, hopefully in the form of a managerial position".\n\nIt's all about playing the game, as I'm sure you know.\n\nGood luck!!!!!!!!!!

Most HR managers haven't a clue what would make a good employee.  I would expect they view as essential qualities they are lacking in themselves - good customer focus, efficiency and a genuine desire to help people.
