Often when it comes to a job interview, we focus too much on the job interview questions we are going to be asked.
But the reality is, at some point int the job interview we are going to be prompted to ask our own questions to the interviewer themselves.
This should not be something to worry about and should actually be the part of the job interview where we get to find out if the interview is right for us, not just based on what the employer might think.
So, it is crucial that we avoid asking questions that will ruin all of our hard work until now.
Here are some job interview questions that you need to avoid like the plague in order to coast the final furlong of the job interview…
“How much am I going to get paid?”
Obviously anything that suggests you’re only in it for the money is bad (even if you are, which you shouldn’t be!). Let the employer bring up the salary and then go from there.
“How much holiday do I get, do I get a company car…”
Or any questions that might relate to the benefits or perls of the job. These details can be dicsussed when handed the offer which will detail your contract and general agreement.
“Is there a smoking area or canteen, is the coffee free, are the lunches subsidised by the company?”
Anything that relates to you not working and more interested in “downtime” is always a bad vibe to give off.
Sure, these questions will be addressed nearer the time of starting the job, but do you really think it’s neccessary to know the fine details of what you can do on your lunch hour before you’ve even got the job?
“What does the company do, exactly?”
If you don’t know this even before going into the interview, then you’ve screwed up big time. If you don’t research the job and the company adequately, then not only will it show in the interview when you are asked what you know about the company and the job, but asking this at the end is just plain ignorance!
Ultimately, many of the questions might seem obvious no-no’s to many, but the point is that any questions that relate to self serving intentions or that of not doing your basic research (or listening to the employer during the interview) is going to land you in hot water.
