what questions to ask job intervewer?

Answer 1

How has the vacancy arisen? - normally a good indication of trouble at the mill.

Answer 2

Find out all the information you can about the place you're going to apply to. Is it a big business? Does it have a website? What do they make, or do? Familiarize yourself with any information you can and try to come up with some good questions relating to that. It will show that you are interested and you took the time to learn - but make sure these are not questions that could be answered on their website or in any paperwork/literature you may have been given in advance.

Here's a good source of the types of questions you can and should ask. It's a two way interview. They're interviewing you for a job, and you are interviewing them as a place you're going to spend a lot of time - so you should know if it's a good fit!

Answer 3

You should do your research about the company before you go to the interview - look at the website and note a couple of questions. In the interview, pay good attention to what they are telling you about the role and the company - again note a couple of questions (perhaps take a little pad and pen into the interview for a memory jog) and when they say "Do you have any questions?" get your pad out and as a couple of pertinent questions. NEVER say, "Erm, no" as it shows a lack of interest and initiative.

P.S. Try not to ask about holidays or lunch breaks! Good luck!

Answer 4

It is always good to know a few things about a company before your interview.

When did they start, what do they do etc

There is nothing worse than interviewing someone who says that they really want to work for your company and yet they know nothing about the company.

While you are researching your new job, you may find a question or two to ask, you'll always score extra points for showing interest.

Answer 5

Try asking questions which may take them aback, they like to see originality, and questions like, so how has the company structure benefitted yourself over the years?
Are there any plans for extending the company?
Are there windows for promotion, and also opportunities to branch out into other divisions of the company?
Steer clear of questions which concern pay and holidays other wise you will come off the wrong way, try to make your questions so that you seem like you want to be Managing director they like ambition

Answer 6

They ask do you know anything about the company so it s best before the interview you reasearch about the company so you can anwers the question,

Answer 7

You dont ask questions to a job interviewer you only answer questions asked to you, if you need the job urgently.The only question if at all you can ask is DO I GET THE JOB SIR only in capital letters very gently that too.

Answer 8

1) career progression
2) general questions anout the company which you cannot find in the annual reports, etc
3) ok to ask about perks but have to peppered it tactfully.
4) ask about human resource policies like, if you are a woman, how pro family is the company in terms of flexi hours, etc.

AFTER they finish questioning you, you can ask them questions to clear your doubts. I always ask the working hours, the pay, my job scope, and lastly when I'll receive the results.
