Six Must-Ask Interview Questions

Six Must-Ask Interview Questions
Interviewing can be a gut-wrenching process. Most books on how to interview list hundreds of interview questions you need to be ready to answer, but few talk about the questions you need to ask. Take more control at your next interview by asking some pointed questions of your own. Here are six must-ask questions and why you should know the answers. 1. What happened to the person who previously did this job? Why You Need to Ask: You need to know any problems or past history associated with this position. 2. Why You Need to Ask: Although you may like this company, you're an outsider. 3. Why You Need to Ask: You need to be on the same page as your new manager, as well as be clear on what the initial expectations are and that you can deliver. 4. Why You Need to Ask: It doesn't matter how wonderful the company might be; your time will be spent working for a specific manager. 5. 6. Why You Need to Ask: This is your closing and the most important question to ask at the end of the interview.
