One part of a job interview that many job seekers tend to
take for granted is the point where you will be asked by the interviewer of
you’ve got any questions for them. It is too easy to ignore this part of the
interview, but remember employers are using this interview component to figure
out what type of employee you will be.
Below are the questions you can throw your interviewer,
which can prove that you are a potential valuable asset in the company.
1. What contribution does this role make to the company?
With this question, you don’t only get some context for the
position you are applying for, but it will also help you find career paths that
you can eventually take in the future. The answer of the interviewer may then
give you an idea about which teams you might work with.
2. Who will I possibly work with?
Depending on how things are doing during your interview, you
may ask this question so that you may be given a chance to meet other team members
who you might work with eventually. This also gives the hiring manager the
impression that you are someone who values the other people you work with.
Remember, employers like employees who can work harmoniously with other members
of the team.
3. What other skills are needed to perform this job well?
If you got an invitation for a job interview, it just means
that the potential employer sees skills of yours that can benefit the growth of
their company. But this is not the only thing they are looking for. They want
someone who can do the job exceptionally. By asking this question, employers
will think that you are taking personal and professional growth and development
seriously, which is a big asset to their company.
4. What is your company mission?
This question is not only about you getting the position you
are applying for. This question reflects your desire to be part of an
organization whose ideals are in line with yours. This also indicates that you
are interested in how the company wants to achieve business success, as well as
your willingness to contribute to the organization’s efforts to achieve its
goals.
5. What do you expect from an employee?
Employers have expectations that every employee is supposed
to meet. Thus, you would want to know if those expectations are even attainable
for you. Knowing these expectations will also give you an idea of the kind of
employee you need to be to stay in the job.
It doesn’t matter if you are applying for a job in your own
city or country, or you’re planning to workin Canada. The job interview should not only be a means for the company to
know if you’re a good fit for the position, you should also use it to determine
if the company is where you want to spend the next few years of your life.
