what questions will you ask at the end of the interview?

Question

for a position as an merchandiser assistant in an international company

Answer 1

You would probably want to know if they will invest in your career by offering you additional training and study opportunities.

You may want to know about support for career planning - is this a position that will lead somewhere?

As an international company, will there be travel requirements or opportunities to upskill in overseas roles.

Will you gain management experience?

Also, do some research on the company before you go for the interview, so if they are launching a new line or their shares are going up etc etc, you can ask a question about the company's scope for expansion, and how your potential career might link to this.

Essentially, you want to ask a question that 'sells' your ambition and committment to their company.

Answer 2

I always ask for definitions of terms...
If the job requires "extensive travel"...I want to know what that means and how much I should budget for "extensive travel" from my personal income.

if the job requires "the ability to work independantly" - I want a real life example.

if the write up says "Challenging" ... I want to know what they consider a challenge.

At 44, and a manager in several industries, it's been my experience that employers fluff up job requirements to attract the best and the brightest when what they really want is someone that can do the job without complaining.

In my current profession..."challenging" equates to
able to sit for 8 hours and NOT play computer solitaire.
But in the interview...
I was told Challenging means that theres always something going on...fast paced ... never a dull moment.

have words defined with real to life scenarios...and provide your own feedback. If extensive travel means you'll be expected to fly to Europe every three months...be excited about the opportunity to experience other cultures and styles...

good luck!

Answer 3

Do they give back to the local community?

Is there an employee rewards program? Such as raises when you are constantly doing a great job, or employee evaluations every few months with a chance for a raise (depends on how well your performance is graded.

Ask for their business card, as well as the business card of your potential boss, if it isn't them who is interviewing you. (You'll need someone's name when you call them back to check on the status of the position you interviewed for).

Ask how that person likes working for the company.

Ask if that person enjoys there co-workers and bosses.

Ask how they got to that position.

Ask how long they've worked for the company and what position they had when they started.

Answer 4

The best final answer to leave an interview with is to ask the interviewer, "Why do you feel that your company would be right for me?". It never fails to disarm the interviewer just enough to give you an edge when you walk out the door. Good Luck!
