On a job interview is it OK to have a printed list of questions that you can read off of or use as reference?

Question

It's hard to remember every question you want to ask or point that you want to bring up.

Answer 1

yes it is but don't take it to the interview room

Answer 2

I think it would be OK for the questions you wish to pose as long as you inform them that you wrote them down so you would remember. However wait until asked before presenting them. Also I understand how tempting it may be to take some pre rehearsed answers but I don't recommend that . They have heard all the standard answers and want your personal ones and this would detract from that. Also you want to stand out from the crowd and this will help by not sounding like all the rest. Try to be calm and appear confident and remember they really are not interested in your personal at home life so I would shy away from including those responses. Answer with examples of how your past experience if any would relate to the job your applying for. Important thing, research the company so you know as much as possible about it before entering for an interview. Good luck!

Answer 3

It is OK but as someone who had interviewed a lot, I would have to say it might not make as good an impression. I would try to memorize your three or four key points and two or three questions before you go in and then try to think of a few points or questions during the interview that are based on what the interviewer tells you (this shows you can think on your feet). Asking too many questions also may make you sound picky and negative. I would save your nitty gritty questions and ask them after you have a job offer.

Answer 4

As far as I know, it's one of the best things you can do. Build it up with some research you did on the company beforehand as well. Tie them in to the questions you have. This shows organization and poise. The fact that you've taken the time to research, notarize and bring questions to the table thereby challenging the employer makes you a MUCH stronger candidate.

Just make sure you keep the basics together as well. Dress well, smell well, keep a notepad and take notes even if it's not interesting. Keep EYE CONTACT. This makes them trust you and know you're a straight-shooter. Firm handshake even if you're female. Watch your speech and keep it clear. Take more time if necessary. The resume is just the foot in the door. Resume and Cover letter get you in there. Once you know your stuff, you've got the job. Experience can be overcome by drive.

Answer 5

Yes that is fine as long as you're only using it as a reference to jog your memory during the actual interview process.... if you reading verbatim then it will look rehearsed ..... that's for the actually interviewing part. Now at the end of the interview when the person asks you if you have any questions that is a good time to pull out your questions and actually read them.. it shows initiative, dedication and genuine interest in the position that your applying for.

Answer 6

I think it is professional, you will look organized and prepared......the interviewer will like that you have an interest and are well prepared. Yo can look for tips on job interviews in the web. Good Luck.

Answer 7

It's OK. It gives the impression that you are organized and prepared. I have done the same thing at interviews. But don't take my word for it on this answer. I am an unsuccessful, lonely failure.

Answer 8

As long as the questions show your interest in the company/job, I don't see anything wrong with it. Actually, it shows that you were organized, did research, and are serious about the job.

But, make sure you don't present it like you are interviewing them! :)

Answer 9

No just study like it's a test, when the say "Do you have any questions for us" Try to remember one or two, and contact them via phone or email if you have other (important ones).
Good Luck
