Your interview questions
By asking questions during an interview you demonstrate your motivation and interest in the job. This is also a good opportunity to clarify points that were not obvious from the job description or advertisement.
Be careful what and how you ask questions. Obviously you are interested in what the role can provide, but don’t make this your only focus. The employer wants to know you can add value to them as well. Your questions could include:
-
What is the management style of the organisation?
-
What is expected from this role in the first six months?
-
Does the organisation support ongoing further study?
-
What further opportunities does this organisation offer?
-
What does a typical day involve?
-
Why is this position vacant?
-
What are the key performance indicators of the role?
-
Who will I report to?
- Who will I work alongside?
Unless you have been offered the role avoid asking about salary or remuneration, holidays or benefits.
