Before you walk into any
interview, you sould know as much about
the company and the position as you
possibly can. If you found the position
through a recruiter, he or she should be
able to provide that information for you.
If not, search the web or go to the
library. In today's world of mass
communication, there's no excuse for lack
of research.
After you have studied the
company, write out a list of questions to
ask the employer.
Sample questions follow:
| 1. |
Why
is this position available? |
| 2. |
What
type of training programs will be
offered to the person in this
position? |
| 3. |
What
are your goals for this position?
|
| 4. |
What
obstacles must be overcome for
the person in this position to
succeed? |
| 5. |
How
will my performance be evaluated?
|
| 6. |
What
opportunities are there for
growth in the next 12 months? Two
years? Five years? |
| 7. |
What
growth do you anticipate for your
firm in the next 12 months? |
No one can predict the exact
questions that an interviewer will ask,
but your recruiter should be able to give
you a good idea of the hiring authority's
personality, his or her typical interview
demeanor, and a few important questions
that the employer is likely to ask.
