I read the other people's comments and I don't disagree with them fully but there's no secrets on how to be a good leader not a boss not a supervisor and not one of those snot-nosed people that think they deserve a job, in a supervisor position. I'm a brutally honest No Nonsense type of person I've helped Fortune 500 companies huge conglomerates billionaires turn their businesses around and or what have you because they just didn't know how to do what they were doing it all boils down to people skills and certain cases accounting skills in other cases and it also really depends on what type of entity that you are applying for or knowledge in and would like to work for. So if you're Al Bundy the shoe salesman, you should be able to sell shoes without a question of a doubt you know all of the products you know things that are going to hit the market before they hit the market you could tell the customer what materials the shoes are made of and if you're really good you can tell them how they make the materials that that are going to be on their feet it gets really deep if you want to go that far and I am that good. But once again that's just one type of a job. You also need to understand in whatever field of expertise you are applying for to feel it out prior to even accepting a job offer. Sometimes the dollar amounts don't add up to the stress levels and or are you comfortable with the job. My advice to you is test the waters talk to people find out what is available and what you're comfortable doing even if it's a lower level position not in the company that you want to ultimately be in but the company that you can learn from to take those skills and bring it to a bigger company that will appreciate you don't worry about them stepping on you because you know what in the long run you're not going to be there in the end for them you're going to be at whatever position you are as a leader not a supervisor a leader remember that that's a big key thing because good leaders are very hard to find,. You will find yourself in a better place in life if you can take those skills away from some crappy job and apply those things towards the job of your dreams whatever it may be.

As a Supervisor, I had many mgmt classes that taught me technique's to get along with, and handle problem employees and coworkers. Also, praising a job well done goes a long way.

At interviews show awards such as perfect attendance ect... from previous jobs. Supervisors are the ones that go the extra mile....You will take your job home with you and work 10+ hours at work plus hours at home. If you are a 3rd shift supervisor the company will want you to attend meeting when you should be home sleeping.

When speaking with an employer tell more of what ur expirences were than what your job title is .By this I mean tell them about instances where you were able to show your problem solving ability or your ingenious solution for fixing a common situation throughout the field. Employers look for leaders.

Take in account all of your failures, and all of your successes. What I'm saying is, what it took to fail and what it took to succeed. Put leaders poit of view behind that, and just put your knowledge to work

For me, I would just continue with working hard, take everything I learned as a supervisor with me, and do what needs to be done with the job.

You can't have much experience at 17. Be patient work hard pay attention take advantage of opportunities when they come.

Explain how I have met goals assisted people in mastering their job positions

I would say earn it. Start at entry level, get an understanding of the company. See what is working and what isn't from that perspective. So I guess I'm saying follow first.

When interviewing provide some examples of your time as a supervisor, explain how you handled situations whether or not you were able to solve an issue. Let them know what you did or didn't do in that situation and why.
