What questions should you ask

the recruiter during a job interview?

When a recruiter asks you if you have any questions, do you have trouble

knowing which questions to ask? First of all, it’s better to save questions

about vacation time and benefits for the second or even the third

interview. In order to demonstrate your interest in the position, make a

good impression and ensure that the job and the company are actually

a good fit for you, ask for specifics regarding the nature of the work and

the company.

Here are a few examples of good questions to ask:

• What are the main challenges of this position?

• What do you expect of your employees?

• What would you like an employee to accomplish in the

first six months after they’re hired?

• What are the most important skills and qualities needed for

this position?

• What does a typical day look like for someone doing this job?

• Who would I be working with?

• Do you have any hesitations regarding my application or

my qualifications?

• Have I answered all of your questions?

• How is employee performance measured?

• Is this a new position? If not, why is the position open?

• How is the work atmosphere?

• Could you describe the culture of the company?

• What is the company’s five-year plan?

• What management style do you encourage?

• How do you manage conflict?

• What is the next step in the recruitment process?

Finally, remember that nothing is worse than asking a question that the

recruiter has already answered during the interview. To avoid getting

caught without questions, make sure you prepare several. It’s not an

interrogation, though, so don’t ask them all!

END OF SUMMER

Job search mistakes to avoid

1. Wanting to meet 100% of the requirements

Don’t wait to find a job whose requirements you meet perfectly before

applying; if you meet at least half of the requirements, give it a try.

Make sure you emphasize the qualities and expertise you have that

align with the requirements for the position. However, don’t apply

for jobs at random, either: if the job offer doesn’t have anything in

common with your profile, avoid wasting your time — and that of

the recruiter.

2. Sending the same CV to every company

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you’ll save time by creating only

one CV and cover letter. Doing so puts you at risk of not capturing

the employer’s interest. To maximize your efforts, take the time

to customize your documents for each job offer. Your time will be

better spent sending out three or four well-tailored applications than

hundreds of the same document.

3. Being sloppy

Leaving mistakes in your cover letter or misspelling the name of

the company you’re applying to are surefire ways to make a bad

impression. Furthermore, if you’re sending out dozens of applications,

take notes: it’ll look very bad if you don’t remember the job offer

someone is calling you about.
