Interview the Boss: Come With Questions to the Interview

Walking into the interview you know you’re going to get peppered with questions. It’s part of the process and it’s how the interviewer gets to know more about the person behind the resume. Don’t let their string of questions tie you up. Come prepared with your own round of questions to ask.

Remember, you’re also interviewing the boss for the position as well. Keep yourself in the seat of power and remove the intimidation factor.

The questions don’t need to be complex. Consider this great list of suggestions from Seth Fiegerman at Financially Fit.

  • What do you enjoy about working here?
  • Why is this position vacant?
  • Do you have any reservations in hiring me?

He also lists a few things you shouldn’t ask…like salary and vacation time. Use this once the job is offered to you.
