Job interview questions?

Question

What are some good questions to ask the employER when going to a job interview?

Answer 1

Great strategy - few people ask questions in an interview. Cetainly where they think the company will be, what, if any promotion or growth you can anticipate, through hard work. Also, ask what they are looking for in the position you are applying for - and what is the turnover within the company.

On the down side 0- be prepared to NOT want the job if the interviewer cannot answer the questions and/or if they get "angry" that you are asking questions.

I have always believed that an interview is a 2 way street - you are just as valuable, if not more , than the position and company being offered.

Answer 2

Always a good idea to ask what the job can lead to, if you can move up in the organization. This shows you have ambition and will work hard, also you'll find out if it's a dead-end job.

Also ask why the positon is open. Is it a new postion, or has the previous person left. If they left, why did they leave. Always good to know that!

Also, ask who you will be working with. Who is on the team, how many people, how they work as a team. If you get an answer that they are a lot of fun, that's great. Keep smiling. If you get the feeling that they are more serious, well, you can play that too!!

Good luck! I've got an interview on Friday - let's hope it's good news for both of us!

Answer 3

What are the advancement policies? What are the dress code policies? What are the required hours? What is the salary and review policies?
My goal during an interview is to try to steer the conversation from "the postition" to "my position". Like this: Ask what are the responsibilties? Answer: The position requires you to change tapes for backup. Now ask: Will I change the tapes every day?
Good luck.

Answer 4

Asking about whether or not there are opportunities for andvacement shows that you're ambitious and take work seriosly. Depending on the company, you may be able to ask an interesting question about the company's history, showing your "genuine" interest. You could ask how the company contributes to the community.

Answer 5

Ask about the department (how many people)
about the company ( the history)
is it a new or replacement position
What systems do they use?

How soon will I be notified?
Can I have your business card ?(end of interview) - for thank you email.

Answer 6

Questions shows that you have thought about the job at hand. The best questions to ask is;

* What are the first projects that you want me to accomplish?

* How do you measure my future perforrmance?

* How do you be successful in this job?

Answer 7

what is the direction this company is heading to? Are there any upgrading plan in further investing in the activities that this company involves? For how long do you expect to achive this plan? Is there any strategic counter plan/s for the contingencies? What if USDollars continues to drop and PetroDollar keeps on increasing?

Answer 8

Type of benefits, hours of operation, bonus, dress code, I hope this helps although I don't know what kind of job your are interviewing for.

Answer 9

Ask the supervisor when he/she started with the company and why they continue to work there. Generally this type of question will endear you to them as most people enjoy talking about themselves.

Answer 10

Ask them what they think is the most importnat skill/characteristic that the new employee should have.

Also, ask them what the first challenge or #1 task for the the postition will be.
