I emailed the pub manager expressing my interest in the Team Leader position. I explained why I wanted the role and what makes me suitable for it. I gave examples of how I've integrated into teams, how people come to me for questions, and how I've earned respect by leading by example. I also gave a quick summary of my past jobs and the skills I learned. Then, I had a face-to-face interview where we discussed customer service, teamwork, training, expectations, my transition from Bar Associate to Team Leader, and how I'd build trust with the team.
