This one question has always had most of us tongue-tied and grabbing for our default answer for any ambiguous open ended feedback question.
"No questions".
But many do not understand that this is the time you can break out of the FAQs section and break into the RAQs section (Rarely Asked Questions).
So here are some Intelligent questions you must ask your interviewer.
- What does a typical day in this position feel like?
- Is this a new position and if not, why did the previous employee leave and what did he/she go on to?
- What are the growth opportunities for an employee in this position? How does one get to the next level?
- Why was I shortlisted among other candidates and what stood out in my resume?
- what is the downside of working in that position? Does it have paid overtime? Does it involve travel?
- what are the key skills i must acquaint myself with before joining the position?
- who would I be reporting to? Are they in same location/building? If not how often do i get to meet them?
- how is success measured in this company? What have other employees in similar positions done to succeed and grow?
-Is there anything else I can provide to help you make your decision?
These are questions which you should ask, but most of us don't thinking it will ruin our chances. Don't be afraid, be outspoken.
With love,
Sriram.
Sriram.
