What are the required skills and personal attributes needed for this
position?
What are the policies of your company regarding ongoing training
for this position or for advancement?
What sort of work can the first year of employment in this position
provide for me?
How often will my performance be reviewed?
How much assistance is made available to new staff?
They are a few questions that are often recommended to be asked
in an interview. There are more questions you can consider asking
while you are attending an interview. Some questions should only
be approached and asked if the employer raises the issue her or
himself. These questions relate to salary and benefits.
You may want to consider asking questions such as:
How many sick days are allowed on an annual basis?
When does a new employee become entitled to holiday leave?
What are the normal hours of a working day within your business?
Does this position involve weekend work?
These are questions that will help you determine whether the
position you have applied for, and are attending a job interview for
is really the position for you, and if all of the requirements for the
position suit you. Sometimes a position will not be fully advertised
and small details like weekend rostering will not be mentioned until
you are attending an interview. Some people cannot possibly work
on weekends due to family commitments. So as you can see,
some questions are of importance for some people, while the
same questions might not hold the same relevance to others.
