What questions should you ask during an interview?

[eldavis]

Have you ever had the opportunity to hold or head an interview for new intakes in a company or business organization before? If yes what questions should one ask? Question that would not seem too personal, and questions that would be best in knowing more about the person you are about to hire. Some persons believe asking their age seems too personal.

Well aside from important qualifications like academic credentials, hospital check, fitness test and a few others I would ask the applicate how he or she knew about the employment opportunity and why they applied

The skill that could be contributed to the development of the company should be asked at the interview.

Depending on the kind of role the person will be taking up ,after asking the normal requirements qualification and the rest , I will try asking a technical problem based on one or two problem the company has faced in the past or the one they are facing currently , but will be asked indirectly just to hear his/her view.

 

[Shavkat]

I don't usually ask certain things based from the applicants' resumes. I usually ask them situational cases on what position titles they are applying for. It is better to ask about the practical applications if they are knowledgeable on them.

The question will first depend on the kind of role the person will be taking up , I don't think it is good to ask any random question but ask questions pertaining to the job.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

The only question I would ask a potential staff as part of an interview panel is "What difference would you bring to the operations of this company?". A potential staff who can answer this satisfactorily deserves to be employed.

 

[Springtime]

When I was working full time, I had the opportunity of hiring new staff for the department I worked at. During the interview, I would first asked the applicant to introduce himself/herself. Some of the questions I asked include What s(he) thinks is his/her strengths and weaknesses. Why s(he) applied for the job, and what s(he) aims to achieve in 5 years time.

 

[Passiveearner]

If I were a boss of a company, then I may definitely ask certain questions. It is very important to assess and know the kind of person you tend to hire. Work experience is a relevant thing. However, asking about extra curricular activities is also quite important as well.

 

[Etini Willie]

I would ask the person practical questions based on his field of expertises and the job role in questions. There is no need to ask generic questions.

It is very important to ask questions related to experience. Apart from that, some employers may also like to know a few things about your family background as well. Once I was interviewed by an employer and he asked me if someone could take my guarantee and i was shocked to hear that.

It is very true that you need to ask questions like the hospital check or fitness test so that you can know if the person will be capable of doing the job or the person will not be capable

 

[Stardom22]

I think the most important questions to be asked in the interview should be, apart from you getting paid salaries by the company, how do you have to offer in return to the company.

You are right so that you will know the things that you are supposed to do and the ones that you are not supposed to do in the company. It is just like you asking for the rules and regulations

 

[Authenticity101]

I think that when interviewing someone, you questions should be about how they qualify for the position. You will need to prompt them to talk about their previous experiences that relate to the job they are seeking. You can also ask them to talk about themselves and their character to see if they are good enough for the job.

There when are times their curriculum vitae does not really matter simply because they still need to have a skill of the job that you are employing them for

These are vital things to ask , you need to know what makes them the best candidate for the role out of other available candidates , you may ask them and sometimes see it in their CV.

 

[IB D]

One of the best areas I would hammer on is why you left your former job. This detail goes a long way to determine if you are a chaotic staff or not.

There are times when some companies will give them a practical test and this is where a lot of people fail because so many people find it very hard to defend the result that they own.

Yeah, most people are not practical enough regarding what they know, they just know what is it in theory or written form since that's what they are being fed ,forgetting that to make a good employee , you must be able to apply what you know in solving problem.
