What sort of questions should I expect on the interview? |
| |
|
Why do you think I should I hire you?
|
|
Why are you looking to leave your current position?
|
|
What did you like about your last job? What did you not like?
|
|
What changes would you make in your position if given the opportunity?
|
|
How would you describe your management style?
|
|
What are your personal strengths and weaknesses in regards to your work habits?
|
|
Do you find you work better in a fast-paced environment, or more of a laid back environment?
|
|
What would your current boss say about you?
|
|

|
|
|
| | |
| 3. |
How can I find out more about the company I'm interviewing with? |
| |
|
We supply candidates with both printed information (ie. brochures, 10K/10Q and annual reports, etc.) as well as insight as to the person you're interviewing with and the working environment.
|
|
Go to the public library to gather further information.
|
|
Use the internet (of course, never during working hours). If you have access to the internet (you did get here), many companies have sites you can visit with one quick search.
|
|
|
| | |
| 4. |
What if the hiring company can't offer me the salary I'm seeking? |
|
|
We can continue to negotiate for you.
|
|
We can assist you in looking at the entire compensation package and not just the salary.
|
|
We can ask for a 90 day or 6 month review...allowing you to get in and prove your worth.
|
|
Remember, you will also have to weigh all of the intangibles. Making a move is not just about money. There are many other factors to consider. We can help you to honestly evaluate if a move is a good opportunity for you.
|
|
|
| | |
| 5. |
What if it's a small, growing company, and they don't seem to offer a good benefits package? |
| |
|
Look into the cost of insuring yourself, and perhaps the company can include the monthly cost as part of your salary.
|
|
Ask what the company's plans are for getting or improving their benefits plan.
|
|
|
| | |
| 6. |
How do I know if this job is right for me? |
| |
|
We are able to assist you in examining the tangibles and intangibles of a company.
|
|
We can also objectively help you in comparing...when you have more than one offer.
|
|
We take the time to listen what's important to you so that when the time comes to making a decision you don't lose sight of your original goals.
|
|
|
| | |
| 7. |
How can I tell what kind of growth potential I have with the company? |
| |
|
Get straight answers to these questions:
- What are their sales projections?
- What has the past revenue history shown?
- What is their policy on internally promoting or posting positions?
- How long have your co-workers been at their positions? Your Supervisor?
- Is the company planning to acquire or develop a new division?
- Are they getting ready to go public?
|
|
|
| | |
| 8. |
If it's a privately owned company, how can I find out more about their financial situation? |
| |
|
Often, a company's public accounting firm will refer them to us. Therefore supplying us with sufficient financial information.
|
|
If the company is offering you the position, you can ask to review certain financial records.
|
|
|
| |
| 9. |
What happened to the person I'm replacing? |
| |
|
That is one of the best questions to ask. It allows you to see if the company is promoting from within, creating a new position (which means that they are growing), etc. Additionally, if there is a skill or specific personality trait the client is looking for, you may learn about it in their answer.
|
|
We research this type of information and will have it availble to you as our candidate.
|
|
If you are talking with someone other than the person you'll be working for, you may want to ask if the position has had a high turnover rate. It may mean that manager is difficult to work with.
