21 Compelling Questions To Ask at an Interview
06 Mar, 20231-2 minutes
As important as it is for an interviewer to ask you questions, it is also vital that you have the opportunity to ask questions during the interview. You will usually be allotted time at the end of the interview to ask any questions which aren’t covered during the interview.
Asking insightful questions demonstrates that you’ve done your research and you’re interested in the role. By asking the right questions, you can also show that you’d be a great fit within the company.
For example, if the company gets involved with fundraising for charity, you could ask what they have planned next and highlight previous fundraising campaigns which you have been involved in.
Avoid asking questions which have already been covered during the interview, you don’t want it to look as though you haven’t been listening!
You should also aim to ask 2-3 insightful questions at the end of the interview. It would be wise to have 5-6 questions prepared just in case some of the questions are answered during the interview.
Questions to ask:
- What’s the best part about working here?
- Can you show me an example of something I would be working on?
- What does a typical working day look like?
- Is there room for progression and promotion?
- Where have successful employees in this role moved on to?
- What are the company's goals for the next 5 years?
- Has the company changed much since you joined?
- Is the role I’m applying for a new position?
- Are there any particular challenges that come with the role?
- What are the most exciting plans for the company’s future?
- What can I do to impress you in the first few months?
- What do you enjoy most about your role?
- What is the team like that I would be a part of?
- What are the immediate responsibilities or issues to address?
- What sort of budget would I be working with?
- Would I have the chance to network at industry events?
- What are the company's most important values?
- How does the company ensure it upholds its values?
- Who would I directly report to?
- What type of technology or processes do you use?
- What is the work culture like?
