3. Ask Questions
Don’t forget that you are in an interview, not a police interrogation! The whole session should be a two-way learning process, for the organization to learn about you, and for you to learn more about your potential future employer! So don’t be scared to ask questions and find out more - what do you want to know? Try to avoid sensitive questions such as salary, leave etc as this should be known to you through the application process.We like hearing questions like:
What will my responsibilities include?
Where is the company heading?
Does the position have any travel opportunities?
Who will I report to, and will anyone report to me?
Is the position currently vacant?
What opportunities do you have for further training/development?
Where is the location of this?
How is performance assessed?
Are there performance related bonuses or incentive programs?
Remember, now that you’re equipped with the right skills to make a lasting impression and really shine in the job interviews, YOU DECIDE what job you want! Ask everything you want to know, and if the position doesn’t sound great to you, look elsewhere.
Soon you’ll have employers chasing YOU, and you will be taking the commanding lead in the interview process!
If you have any questions, please post them below!
