Preparing for a Job Interview

Questions You Can Ask - Order Your Copy Today!

Preparing for a job interview involves more than just being able to present your background to a hiring manager. Job interview preparation also involves knowing what questions to ask your interviewer.

How many times have you been asked by a hiring manager if you have any questions? And, how many times have you found yourself saying:

"We've touched on all of my questions.
I really don't have any additional questions at this time."

The interview is over. Chances are you won't be invited back.

What's Inside?

In preparing for your interview, you should be armed with a list of questions that are relevant to the opportunity. Asking good, insightful questions tells a hiring manager a few things:

• You've done your homework.
• You're trying to put the pieces together and need more information to draw conclusions.
• You're interested in the opportunity.
• You're smart.

You want to ask questions that show a level of knowledge that goes deeper than what's on the surface. Anyone can ask generic questions, such as:

What is the career path for this position?
What kind of training is available?

And, we'll give you a number of these types of questions to ask. But in your interview prep, your research should also give you some good material to draw from. Questions about the company's business, priorities, and strategic direction that tie back to information you've researched will show a level of job interview preparation that most candidates won't bother with. This preparation will make you stand out from the crowd.

Some friendly advice:

Don't get carried away with this. I've interviewed candidates who have far too many questions. That can turn a positive interview into a question mark for me. How many questions are too many? There's no right answer to this question, but here are some general guidelines:

Typically you'll interview with several people...pose different questions to different people. Gauge your question to the person you're interviewing with. Don't ask the CEO tactical questions; and don't expect the HR Manager to know the same things as the hiring manager. Tailor your questions to your audience. Keep in mind that a first round interview is different than a second round interview. First round questions should generally be broader. Use the second interview to drill down on areas of interest or concern.

Bottom line? Use your judgment. Stop before you see the hiring manager rolling his/her eyes or glancing at a watch!
