Okay, we are going to talk about actual example questions that you might ask during the interview
process, and I want to tell you something. The questions you ask are just as important,
on many levels, as the answers you give to the interviewer's question. It's real important
that the questions you ask, you're not just asking those particular questions to impress
the interviewer. It's also real important that the questions that you ask, you can get
information, where when you go away from this interview and you're maybe offered the job,
you can make a really informed decision about whether you want this job or not. And so think
about that as you're preparing your dozen questions to ask the interviewer. Some of
the things that you might want to take into consideration, information about the person
that you're going to be working for. Sometimes the person that you're going to be working
for is doing the interview, but many, many times they're not, especially in an initial
interview. So that's really important information, how am I going to get along with this person,
what's their personality like, what do other people think and feel about them, are they
laid back, what are their pet peeves? It's totally okay, to ask questions like that.
What kind of future do I have with this company? Really important information because the world
we live in today, you can't necessarily just jump from job to job to job to job, so, do
I have a future, or is this a dead end thing. Real important that you don't take a job that
you don't necessarily want, no matter how desperate you are to have it because you don't
want to have to turn around and leave it in three months or six months because you can't
stand it. If the person that is interviewing you is not the boss, just like I was talking
about before, you might want to ask about that person's name and their title, and what
are their responsibilities within the company. Am I working for the President, or the Vice
President, or my boss will be traveling all the time, how does that work? So ask questions
where you can make an informed decision about whether you want to take this job or not when
you get that offer.
