Understanding the interview processMany people think of the interview process as an interrogation; however, the interview should be looked at as a two-sided conversation in which both sides play an equal role. Admittedly, the major reason for being there is for the interviewer to get to know you and what you are capable of but also you are there for you to decide if this is the right position or company for you.Therefore, the interview should be a two-sided process with you answering and asking relevant questions; the interview is also your chance to sell yourself and show yourself in the best possible light. You should do this by answering all questions briefly and honestly in a relaxed and confident manner while inputting your own thoughts and questions. You should have researched the company beforehand in preparation for the interview and you can use this knowledge to your advantage during the interview and it can be the basis for your questions. By asking questions of your own during the interview you are showing that you have done your homework and are taking an active interest in the company and what the company has achieved or intends to achieve in the future, this will be your opportunity to show how you could be a benefit to the company in the future. Questions you could ask during the interview are: * What qualities are they looking for in the ideal candidate? * What training opportunities does the company provide? * What are the realistic advancement opportunities in the company? * When will the company be making a decision about the chosen candidate? * What is the working environment like within the company? * What expectations are made of employers? * What criteria does the company use to measure success? * What are the expectations of the company's growth in the near future? * What incentives does the company offer staff to achieve sales targets or goals? * What is the single biggest challenge the company will face in the coming months? * Are promotions offered and if so how frequent are these? * What is the workspace like is staff given adequate space? * Is the position open because it's a new position or did someone leave, if so why did they leave? * What is the relationship between higher staff members and the general workforce? * What duties and obligations must be met by staff? Of course, these are only a few of the many questions you could ask the interviewer and they should be tailored to meet the individual situation, they do however show you ways which you can converse with the interviewer and give you guidelines to work from. |
