QUESTIONS ASKED BY YOU
ALWAYS have a few questions prepared
to ask the employer. This shows preparation, professional
maturity and most importantly… interest!
So ask yourself, what do I need to know in order
to make an informed decision?
- Have you had a chance to review my resume?
Did it raise any questions about my qualifications
that I can answer?
- Can you describe the duties of the job for
me? What is a typical day like?
- What type of orientation and training programs
do you have?
- What do you consider ideal experience for
the job?
- Can you tell me about the people I will
be working with?
- What are the primary results you would like
to see me produce?
- Can you give me some idea as to the retention
rate(s) for new staff?
- To whom will I report?
- Can you tell me about your personnel evaluation
process? Who will evaluate me? How often will
I be evaluated? When will I have my first evaluation?
- What are your expectations of new staff
members?
- Can you tell me about professional development
opportunities with the organization?
- To what extent are technical support services
(computer hardware/software and courses) provided
to staff?
- Can you tell me about any opportunities
for advancement?
- How would you characterize the working environment
here?
- Can you tell me about the organization’s
philosophy of management?
- How is completion of a graduate degree viewed?
- How would you describe the dress code?
- With who will I be interacting most frequently
and what are their responsibilities?
As the interview concludes, you may
want to ask:
- What is the next step in the interview/hiring
process?
- When can I expect to hear from you?
- How will you contact me?
AVOID asking about
- salary
- health benefits
- vacation
- retirement package
It will reflect misplaced priorities.
Don’t worry, you will find out that information later in the process.
