Do you ask intelligent questions during your job search interviews?
People determine your intelligence by the questions you ask, not by the answers you give during job interviews.
Try this:
- Make a list of 7 intelligent questions to ask during your job interviews.
- Find a way to ask these questions during the interview.
- Make sure your timing is right for each question.
Now, try this:
- Ask questions that show your desire to be successful in this company, in this position.
- Ask questions that clue you in to what you must do to succeed.
- Ask questions that give you an idea of what to expect, but more importantly,
- Ask questions that show you understand the hiring managers’ expectations of you.
- Ask value questions. In other words, ask questions that show hiring managers how you will bring value to the company – how you will increase revenues and/or save the company money and/or time.
Although these tactics can be used during your job search, also try using them on the job. You’ll learn a lot and you’ll differentiate yourself from other job seekers and colleagues (competitors).
