“Be honest. Raise your hand if you feel the part of the job interview where you ask the candidate, “Do you have any questions for me?” is almost always a waste of time. Thought so. The problem is most candidates don’t actually care about your answers; they just hope to make themselves look good by asking “smart” questions. To them, what they ask is more important than how you answer. Great candidates ask questions they want answered because they’re evaluating you, your company–and whether they really want to work for you. Here are five questions great candidates ask:
What do you expect me to accomplish in the first 60 to 90 days? …
What are the common attributes of your top performers? …
What are a few things that really drive results for the company? …
What do employees do in their spare time? …
How do you plan to deal with…?
Every business faces a major challenge: technological changes, competitors entering the market, shifting economic trends… there’s rarely a Warren Buffett moat protecting a small business. …
A great candidate doesn’t just want to know what you think; they want to know what you plan to do–and how they will fit into those plans.”
