Take note of the company's location, equipment, and dress code. Before the interview, a job seeker can get a feel for a company's pride or lack of it by its appearance and location. Interviewees can also judge professional demeanor and attitude by the way personnel dress and communicate with one another. Ask open-ended questions during the interview. The interview itself will reveal the most information.
Numerous books focus on the kind of questions interviewers ask.
But what are some of the questions applicants might ask to evoke thoughtful, revealing answers and at the same time project a take-charge image for them. Consider the seven listed below. The response might reveal whether or not the company is growing, downsizing, or just going through a normal replacement process. Or, if the description is detailed, the position might be well-defined and the applicant expected to be detail oriented. The candidate should pay attention to any deviations between what he or she read in the company's print ad or heard through an internal source versus what the prospective employer says.
