Ask the Right Questions In Your Interview

Interviews are no longer a one-way question-answer process. Employers expect you to ask questions, indulge in a two-way conversation in order to get to know you better and assess you for the job in mind.

Don't hesitate to ask questions. Not only will it show that you're keen on the job being offered, but it will also help you determine if this is the right job for you. The research you did earlier on the company should form a basis for some of your questions.

Ask job related questions. Focus on the job, the company, products, services and people. Ask about your potential peers, subordinates and superiors. Take notes prior to the interview, write down your list of questions and take them with you. And while questioning, make sure that the employer doesn't feel he's being cross examined.


Here are a few sample questions you could ask:
 

— What would my responsibilities and duties be?
— Describe a typical day on the job.
— What are the most difficult aspects of this position?
— Describe the department's/company's growth in the next two years?
— What is the philosophy on training and development in the company?
— How do you think I'd fit into this job/on your team/into your organization?
— What projects would I be involved in now? Within the first year?
— What would my career path be like during the next year or two?
— What would be the opportunities I'd get to enhance my skill sets?

If you like what you see make a positive statement about the position. If you are sincerely interested in the position and are satisfied with the answers given, you should ask the interviewer if he/she feels that you are qualified for the position
