In this article we will analyze how to ask questions during the interview and what to avoid. This information will be useful for those who are inexperienced in the interview and are currently preparing for their first interview.
What questions to avoid!
First, let's talk about questions you should avoid during your initial interview.
What is your company sector?
This is a question that destroys the interest you have already created. Nowadays, the number of candidates is always larger than the number of job offers and candidates should use every opportunity to show that they are really interested in the job. Before the interview, you need to find out all the information about the company. Nowadays it is easy to do because this information is available on the internet.
Should I work all day?
If you want to work part time, you should find a space with such a description. If you are looking for a full time job, it means you really need to work all day. If you ask such questions, your interviewer will think you are too lazy and not ready to work 40 hours a week. No one wants to hire a lazy candidate, so you should stay away from such questions even if you want to have some free time to improve your word paper.
Will I get some bonuses for my work?
This is a good question for experienced candidates who know how they can improve the work of the company and what they can bring to discuss with their expertise. Inexperienced, incompetent and knowledgeable candidates should not ask about bonuses. Bonuses are paid for good work or for some achievement. If you prove that you are a visionary specialist, the company will offer you some bonuses. You can ask about your skills development, which really assumes your salary increase, but such questions sound right.
What questions to ask!
Now let us talk about three important questions you need to ask during the interview.
How is the team workflow organized?
By asking this question, you show the employer that you understand that you are going to work as a team and that you want to be a part of it. In addition, create the impression that you have already worked as a team and know that understanding the process that each team member is involved in is the key to success. Also, in a way that you show your leadership and ability to work in a team, especially if there is no workflow for the team you will be joining.
What was my first task for the first month or two?
This is the most important question you should ask even if you do not have any questions. You will first understand what you need to work on to show your best qualities during the first month of work. Second, you will show employers that you are really interested in your job and want to find out what you will actually do in your workplace.
Will I have a mentor?
Inexperienced employees often do not know what to do in their first job. They do not even understand how to treat colleagues! When you ask if you will get a mentor, you show your employer that you really want to be a team member as soon as possible and overcome any problems in the shortest possible time. Also, it would be good to know if you will get help from someone who will guide you during the first week of work.
These 6 do's and don'ts of 3 questions will really help you during the first interview and will help in a proper conversation with the employer. Of course, they will not be enough to get a job, so do your best to show confidence, curiosity, and readiness to invest in company development through hard work and knowledge.
