Good luck for the interview!
I'm not sure what they ask there but one we get is:
Do you have any questions for us?
Asking how many sick days you get is not a good idea. 😁
I always answer like this:
Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question. I was wondering if there was anything I could clarify in respect of the interview that would assist you in selwcting me for the role?
Something like that anyway.
It puts it back on the interviewer to contemplate your previous answers and actually identify anything you might not have covered sufficiently or effectively giving you a chance to add more weight to your bid for the role, to prop up any weak points. Just go over that point again, differently, and you're gtg.
Also, make your answers them-focused. You know, blah blah blah and the benefit to the company is blah blah blah.
You'll go fine. That you're thinking about it ahead of time tells me so.
Thanks man! I actually used your question to put it back onto them if there was anything and he thankfully said no, my answers were good and my background was great so hoping that it works out for us!
The focus on them as a company was something I tried to do a little bit, make it look like I spent time researching them and trying to get to know them and how they operate. It was my first interview in a long time so I felt a little rusty! Thankfully had a few notes jotted down ahead of time like your suggestion that worked out, and tried to be prepared as best I could. It was funny getting dressed up for a virtual meeting, haven't done that at all working remotely but I think it was appreciated.
Will just keep rolling with whatever happens, I think I would like the new job a lot, Siena is a little hesitant because the team I work on right now has not one but two slackers on it so I have almost guaranteed job security lol I get her perspective but at the same time I want a new environment. If things go well on the interview, it will be a decision to move on versus stay. Don't want to get ahead of it all though, because when that happens it doesn't work out lol
Good work! It's a great question really, and when honed can come across as very slick, of course one needs to be able to back it up but it has always seemed to work well and is one I coach people into asking.
New job horizons can keep a person motivated and moving forward, energised as such, and to be honest it's time I did the same. Like you I have job security but for me there's no really satisfaction. The job yes, the environment no.
Good luck.
Had another interview today, I took 10 mins to find this post and your advice. It came in handy!
Cool, hope it went well.
I do too, hoping this one pans out. It's a different avenue than I thought but it's one I can certainly take on.
A change of direction isn't a bad thing; keeps things interesting. Good luck.
