Job interview questions? |
I have a job interview next week. Can you give me some good questions to ask? It's a job that I'm totally qualified for, but I worry that maybe I'll be even over-qualified (and bored?) I need some good questions to ask. Is it inappropriate to ask how they do performance reviews? I found out the hard way that my review at my current job is NOT based on performance, you only get whatever percentage the company gives everyone. So basically the person next to me got the same raise that I did and she is never here (calls in sick, leaves early) and has been written up SEVERAL times. Thanks for any ideas you can give me! I think the best thing you can do is be up front with anything you want to know. The employer will more than likely be impressed with the fact that you want to know all aspects of your job, not just your pay. I have been in the interviewing process many times. Just be yourself. Questions show that you are interested. ask when you can start- i was a hiring manager, its a good question. I think that is fair, but don't ever bad mouth the last place you worked..keep it positive... I always ask about dress codes, and then at the end ask when they will be making a decision...almost like, so when do I expect to hear back from you... If the company has a website, check it out and let them know you reviewed their website. Ask about benefits, hours, etc... It is perfectly fine to ask about how they review, because soem companies use self-reviews. Ask what a typical day would be like, ask about advancement opportunities (makes them think you will stay awhile). Ask how long the company has been in business, stuff like that. Good Luck!!! Just been through the interview process with several different types of companies. If you are concerned about if you will be bored, ask them in a typical day what your duites would be. I say ask whatever you want to know but make sure you don't sound "all about you" after all you are there to sell yourself to them as an asset so make sure you sound like one. BTW, don't worry yourself about what someone else is making - just make sure you shine and you'll be fine. Do check their website it will answer many of your questions. Don't ask about performance reviews till the end of the interview. I would ask what opportunities there would be for growth in the job. Tell them you're looking for something long term and it would be great if you could stay with the company for a long time. |
