Interview Advice for Job Seekers
The job interview is a give and take scenario. You have to discover whether they are alright for you - just as much as they need to find out if you are right for them. You should therefore make sure that you have enough information to make up your mind whether you want the job. Draw up a list of questions you need answering, such as:
- What will I be answerable for?
- What will be my placement within the organisational structure?
- Who will I report to?
- Where does he/she fit in the structure?
- Who are the people that will report to me?
- How experienced will they be?
- What do you think would be reasonable outcomes for me to achieve in the first six months?
- What level of performance do you expect from me?
- ?
- What are the organisation’s plans for development?
- What are the post advancement prospects? When?
- What will be my salary, benefits and bonuses? [Do not bring this up too early in the interview - wait until they are sold on you.]
- How much travelling is needed in this position?
- Will relocation be required now or in the future?
- What kind of training is there?
- When will you decide on the appointment?
- What should be my next step?
