Asking Questions
|
When it's your turn to ask questions
This is a very important part of the interview. Your questions indicate that you have researched the company and the job, and that you understand the employer's goals.
Some Company-Related Examples
(All questions should come from the information you learned about the company during your research).
- Are there any big changes in the company expected in the near future?
- Is there room for me to progress?
- What are the company's priorities?
- Are there any particular challenges the company is working to overcome?
- How many employees work in my area? (Your research should have told you how many employees there are overall.)
- Are there benefits available? Do I have a choice of benefits? When would I be eligible for each plan?
- What is the company policy on vacation time?
- Are there any opportunities to work anywhere else in the world?
Never ask about salary.
Some Job-Related Examples
(All questions should come from the information you learned about the company during your research).
- Is this a newly created position?
- Is there a formal training program? Is there someone to teach me my job?
- How does this job fit into the overall goals of the company?
- Who would be my manager?
- Would I be able to work from home?
- Do you offer flex hours?
- Why did the last person leave?
- Do you cover, or partially cover, the cost of any related courses?
