Ask Questions During Interview At the end of an interview, when the interviewer typically says, ‘Do you have any questions I can answer for you?', NEVER say, ‘Nope, I think you answered them all.' Interviewers and recruiters will take this as a lack of interest in the position and the company. It will reflect negatively on you. Instead you must develop a few RELEVANT questions to leave a good impression. Asking really well-thought-out questions show you know the business, you know their company to some extent, and you've thought about your questions. It all goes back to preparation. Sample Questions - From your research of the company and the position, you should be able to come up with several questions. You will need several ready, because some of the questions will be answered during the interview.
These questions should be very focused and specific to the company and the position. It shows that you took the time to research, that you are an intelligent, and inquisitive person. Make sure your questions are neatly written on your notebook or portfolio so that you have them in front of you. Don’t leave to chance that you can remember what you came up with! Having it written down shows you came prepared and you did your research! Inappropriate Questions - The first and second interviews are not the place to ask any questions that sound like ‘what is in it for me?’ Inappropriate questions would be:
Until you have a job offer, all of these things do not matter. If you get a job offer, ask the recuiter these questions to help you make a decision of whether you will accept the position or not. Never before a job offer is made! |
