|
Asking powerful questions in your job interview about the organization and what it needs from the successful candidate is your chance to highlight why you are the right person for the job.
Questions about the company environment will give you the information you need to assess whether this is the right organizational fit for you or not.
Here are some good sample questions to ask about the organization in the job interview.
"What is the company culture?"
"How would you describe the work environment at the company?"
"What values does this company emphasize?"
Ask questions that demonstrate a strategic understanding of the company.
"What are the company's biggest challenges and how is it placed to meet those challenges?"
"What will be the likely changes in this industry in the next few years?"
"What are the future plans for growth and development?"
When you research the company look at the sort of challenges it is facing and think about how these affect the position you are interviewing for. What does the organization need from the successful candidate?
The job advert and profile may provide you with some answers but you will need to conduct proper background research on the company to understand as much a possible about the situation it is in.
Prepare relevant and thoughtful interview questions to ask using the information you are able to gather on the company.
"How has the recent merger impacted on the company?"
"Your new CEO comes from a main competitor, what changes can the company expect and will there be any impact on this position?"
"I read that a major competitor of yours is increasing its market share in this region. What plan does your company have to regain this lost share?"
For advice on researching the company go to background research strategies.
Present yourself as a self-motivated candidate that wants to contribute as much as possible to the company by asking questions like:
"Does the company support ongoing learning and training for employees to stay current in their positions?"
"What type of employees are most successful at this company?"
"How does the company measure success on the job?"
"What sort of opportunities are there for advancement within the company?"
Prepare well-informed interview questions to ask during your job interview and you will not only gain valuable knowledge about the company that helps you decide about its suitability, but you will also make a great impression as an interested and insightful job candidate!
