Interview to find a job, don’t be afraid to ‘ask back’ the employer

A candidate who doesn’t know how to ask the interviewer questions is often due to lack of preparation or too much stress during the interview. As a result, candidates can jot down any questions that come to mind, which is especially helpful if you’re interviewing online.

You don’t need to ask employers 100% of the questions CareerBuilder suggests below. According to CareerBuilder, the most logical questions will come up naturally in the course of a conversation.

Who used to do this position? Why does the company continue to hire for that position?

This is an important question to ask. Because if you are offered a job, you will “inherit” the rules, working environment and unfinished tasks from your predecessor.

It is possible that this position was newly created to accommodate the growth of the company. If so, ask follow-up questions: Who is responsible for these tasks and how will you receive these tasks?

If the employer is in need of “filling the void” by the departure of a former employee, do not be afraid to ask to understand what happened. Was the predecessor promoted, transferred internally or quit?… You can ask about the circumstances that caused them to leave the company (if any).

What kind of performance does your boss expect in the first 6 months?

Job descriptions and position descriptions usually present only routine duties and responsibilities. This question will determine the actual outcomes your boss expects of you. It would be even better if the company could be specific with a performance record.

Their responses can provide an opportunity for you to “show off” the right competencies, as well as to commit to your desire to contribute those values. Conversely, the answer may show you that the employer’s expectations do not match reality, or do not match yours.

How is my success measured?

This question is very helpful for you to understand how the company recognizes your efforts. Is there a KPI system, OKR or will it be based on specific rules? Are skills such as communication or analysis and improvisation highly rated on that scale?

What is the most challenging part of the job? What do you love about working here?

The employer’s actual job may be different from the one you’re applying for. However, they will have a deeper understanding than you about the immediate challenges in the workplace.

Along with that, answering the interviewer’s interest in the job can help you better understand the support you can get from the team.

What tools and resources will I get to get the job done?

For example, for some positions, it is essential for the company to provide high-performance computers for employees. The company has available experts, advisors or related departments that can support you in the working process which are also big “plus points”. This question will help you see the challenges or advantages of accepting the position you are applying for.

What opportunities do I have for learning and career development?

Does the company have courses, internal training courses, or create conditions for employees to improve their capacity? Do they value continuous training and personnel development so that you have the opportunity to advance?…

Continuous training will help you improve your working capacity. When interviewing, listen to the interviewer’s answer to compare the fit between: your desire – the company’s ability to meet.
