“Sample Questions for You to Ask the Interviewer….

”
Remember, an interview goes both ways. Having well thought out and insightful questions shows that
you have sincere interest and came prepared for the interview by doing your homework on the company.
Ask the interviewer questions about the company’s business, growth history for the last 5 years, current
strategic business plans, key competitors, mission statement, culture, management style, position
description, and how the position fits into the department or project.

1. “How long have you been with the company?”


If the interviewer has been there a long time, then he speaks from a position of knowledge as he
talks about the company. If she hasn’t been there long, ask where she was before this.

2. “What made you join this company?


Remember, the interviewer was on your side of the table at one time and has insight that might
help you make a more informed decision.

3. “Now that you are here, what do you like the most about the company? Your
position? The team?”
Again, another good question to give you insight.

4. “If you could change one thing about your job that would make it that much more fun, what
would it be?”
If there are any issues, here is where they will come out.

5. “How does this position fit into the organization?”


This will help you understand better what the growth potential is and what you will be doing.

6. “What is the growth potential of this position?”


Another question to understand how your skills will grow and what you will be able to learn in this
role with the organization.

7. “Why would someone what to work here?”


Here is opportunity for the interviewer to sell you on why the company is a great place to work.

8. “What could I expect to be doing the first 6 months?”


This will help you understand what is expected of you and what you’ll be doing.

9. “What is the company’s and your position on keeping your staff’s skills current?”
Here is a good way to identify how the company values its employees through training and how
they value growing their employees’ skills.

10. “Why is this position open? What happened to the incumbent?


There could several reasons why the position is open and you need to find out why. If it is a new
position that means the department is expanding due to growth (a good thing). If the incumbent
got promoted, then you know they promote from within (another good thing). Ask how long it took
for the incumbent to get the promotion and what the person is doing now. If the person was
terminated or quit, ask the interviewer if he could elaborate on the reasons behind it.
