Job Interview Question & Answer: How Would You Feel Working for Someone Who Knew Less Than You? |

How to Answer the Question:
A lack of education does not translate to a lack of experience. While a manager may know less about specific characteristics of your job, their ability to motivate employees and manage resources in order to complete tasks should be enough to earn your respect. During the hiring process, let the interviewer know you think any person can offer you knowledge previously unknown.
Do not discuss stupid managers or business owners you worked for during a job interview. This makes you look petty, and the interviewer may know and like the people you are discussing. Do not focus on negative aspects of working for someone with less knowledge than you. Keep your answer short, professional, positive, and focused on your ability to learn in every situation.

When I am asked this question, normally I would say, this person may not know as much as me, but I was in their place at one point and we have to treat each other with the same respect and share each other’s experiences.
