Interview questions to ask


Having had an opportunity to be a Hiring manager for 3 years, I managed to interview a number of candidates who are keen to work in a big local organization. Meet many kinds of people from all walks of life. Hired some and missed some.

My giveaway to any interviewees who are preparing for an interview is : Ask Question.

Never, I repeat, NEVER leave the interview room without asking a single question. Even if it is a dead and straight forward job, ask something. I'm sure there are a thing or two that the interview missed out since there are so many things to share. 

So, I came up with 5 simple general questions that you can ask if you happen to encounter brain freeze during an interview.

Noticed that I try to disassociate myself with the position. Like how I will mention "is this position ....." So you try to see/ask questions from a 3rd party angle. This will make you look more professional.

o Is this a replacement position?

o May I know what is the Company's direction in the coming year?

o Who will I be working with if I am employed?

o How will the performance of this position be measured? (KPI)

o What is the career prospect for this position?
