Second interview?

Question

I have a second interview on Friday, I was wondering what are the best questions to ask?

I was told all about the role, what benefits the company has for their employees, expand, progression etc.

The questions I asked were:
What is the most challenging part of the job?
How many employees are in this office?
What would a typical day be?
How many employees does the company have as a whole?

Answer 1

without knowing what you asked or got told in the first interview is tricky.

ultimatly, show an interest in the company and what it does,

dont recommend starting off with Q like, how many days off do i get a year, how often are pay rises etc.

go positive, are their progressive opportunities, etc

Answer 2

All of the interview questions above are selfish. Ask things like:

What are the priorities you want this person to accomplish?

Are there any pending or on-going projects that this person will be a part of, what would my role be?

Are there specific, written job duties or will I play a role in establishing or describing this position?

What one thing do you want this person to do first and foremost?

Always check out their web site and get an idea or the positions duties and responsibilities. Don't be afraid to ask about the company's level of success relative to their stated goals.

You want to act like you have the job and you are now trying to decide what problem to tackle first.

Answer 3

Most interviewers really want to know that you will pretty much put their needs first, even those who claim to have a work/home balance policy. Maybe you should think of things regarding what you could offer that may be different from other candidates. Sometimes I think it just all comes down to personality. You get recalled so they can be reminded what you were like. Try and come across as professional but approachable - it's always worked for me. Good Luck

Try to figure out the company down falls and where they stand out, then compare to your new position your getting to see what is it exactly you can contribute. Ask your interviewers why they like to work there.
