Interview Questions?

Question

Can anyone think of some good questions to ask back to a company that is interviewing you?

Answer 1

How would you describe the responsibilities of the position?
How would you describe a typical week/day in this position?
Is this a new position? If not, what did the previous employee go on to do?
What is the company's management style?
Who does this position report to? If I am offered the position, can I meet him/her?
How many people work in this office/department?
How much travel is expected?
Is relocation a possibility?
What is the typical work week? Is overtime expected?
What are the prospects for growth and advancement?
How does one advance in the company?
Are there any examples?
What do you like about working here?
What don't you like about working here and what would you change?
Would you like a list of references?
If I am extended a job offer, how soon would you like me to start?
What can I tell you about my qualifications?
When can I expect to hear from you?
Are there any other questions I can answer for you?

Answer 2

It's a good idea to research the company online and find out information about them that way. In a recent interview, I asked the interviewer, "How do your plans for this new tourist attraction reflect the rich heritage of this particular building?" When I interviewed at a tanning salon I asked, "What precautions do you take to protect your customers from excessive or dangerous sun exposure?"

If I'm interviewing for a job and I get a really bad impression of the company, sometimes I ask questions just to throw them off. For example, if I'm told I have to wear a uniform, I might ask, "Do you adhere to the Manitoba Employee Rights Act by providing laundry service for the required uniform?" Although laundry service is required by law, it is commonly overlooked, so like to make them sweat the small stuff.

Answer 3

It depends on the company, size of the company, etc. You should have at least 3-5 questions in your head, so if they are not covered in the interview, you can bring them out. Usually professional development is a fairly safe area: "In what ways to you promote professional development in your employees?" Something like that, but probably only for the bigger companies. You should do a google search, there are tons of resources for this question.

Answer 4

1) How would you describe a typical work day?

2) What is the best part of working at this company for you?

3) Are there any learning seminars available to help me with this job?

4) Why did you join the company?

5) What is the dress code?

6) When will you be making your decision?(if they didnt already tell you)

Answer 5

Yes, 3 that I always ask

1. What is the next step in your interview process and timing
for hiring someone.
2. What challenges do you see for this position.
3. What opportunities do you see for this position.

Answer 6

What's your turnover rate? i.e., do people leave frequently, or have most employees been here a while?

Another one to ask the interviewer is, "If you were me interviewing for a job at your company, what's the most important thing I should know about?"
