From personal experience, have you ever asked an interviewer questions? If yes, what were they and how did it reflect your image?

yes, asked about the sales trend of the organisation in other to know what the returns will be like after joining the organisation

Asking questions during an interview is just as important as answering them. It can prove the difference between yourself and a competing candidate for that sole job.

Here are 5 of the best interview questions to ask the interviewer to help you land your dream job

1. If I were to start tomorrow what would be the top priority on my to do list?

The reason this is important because it gives the prospective employer an insight into how deeply you are thinking about the role, job functions and challenges you may face and ways to remedy them. It can indicate how much you desire the position, as well as showing you are proactive and ready to tackle the priorities within the first3 months.

Usually when you start a particularly role you are coming in to solve a problem, so by asking this, it shows you are excited to meet with this problem head-on and help brainstorm solutions to solve it for further interviews.

2. What improvements or changes do you hope the new candidate will bring to the position?

This is a great question to ask as it allows the employer to talk freely about what they hope the candidate can bring and the expectations of the position. It gives you insight into the failings of the person who held the role previously and also of other candidates if any.

3. What would you say are the top two personality traits someone needs to do this job well?

By asking the employer what two personality traits someone needs to do the job well; you’re essentially trying to find out if you fit their criteria and if you have what it takes to thrive within the new role.

4. What would you say are the most important aspects of your culture? What type of candidate would be a good fit within this organization?

It’s a great question because you are giving them an opportunity to talk and see if you are likely to fit within their team. Maybe they have an open culture? Dynamic team? Networking? Talk a lot? This will help you make a decision if offered the position. It also gives them a chance to tell you about the most important aspects of their culture. For example, they may say “we pride ourselves on client satisfaction and going above and beyond for our clients.” Does this parallel with the same values you take pride in? It is great as it gives you an indication into what you expect if you become a part of their team and can be a questions to ponder over at home after the interview.

The second part of the question you are asking is largely based around whether you think you would fit in the organization specifically and whether they think you will fit into the organization. Do they mention any of your traits or strengths as examples? This can be a great gauge to see if they see you fitting within their team and if there may be any future issues.

This is your chance to give the employer a mini interview on what it is like to work for their organization.

5.  Is there anything that stands out to you that makes you think i might not be the right fit for this job?

One of the best questions to ask as it helps address any issues about you as a candidate. they may ask you some questions about leadership capabilities throughout the interview. Maybe you answered it well, but maybe you forgot something which may lead you to feel your answer wasn’t as convincing as you had hoped for. By asking this question, it permits you the opportunity to clarify any of these answers or any issues they may have with you as a candidate. Ultimately it helps strengthen your position as a candidate. Leave no stone unturned, it gives you an opportunity to give the employer as much information as possible to ensure you are the right candidate.

 

In addition. Some employers may not know the answer to the question so by asking you are demonstrating that you’ve really thought about the role and really want to gain an understanding on what type of candidate they are looking for. This serves a dual purpose, as the answer will help you to understand what aspects of your personality would enable you to do the job well, for example: if your role requires heavy client facing and business development or delivering pitches to win new business, someone who is quiet shy and introverted may find these aspects of the role quite difficult; so by asking this question it helps you to think about how you would potentially navigate this pitfall if you were to undertake this role.
