| Preparing
for Your Interview Before you
walk into any interview, you sould know as much
about the company and the position as you
possibly can. If you found the position through a
recruiter, he or she should be able to provide
that information for you. If not, search the web
or go to the library. In today's world of mass
communication, there's no excuse for lack of
research.
After you have studied the company,
write out a list of questions to ask the employer.
Sample questions follow:
| 1. |
Why is this position
available? |
| 2. |
What type of training
programs will be offered to the person in
this position? |
| 3. |
What are your goals for this
position? |
| 4. |
What obstacles must be
overcome for the person in this position
to succeed? |
| 5. |
How will my performance be
evaluated? |
| 6. |
What opportunities are there
for growth in the next 12 months? Two
years? Five years? |
| 7. |
What growth do you
anticipate for your firm in the next 12
months? |
No one can predict the exact
questions that an interviewer will ask, but your
recruiter should be able to give you a good idea
of the hiring authority's personality, his or her
typical interview demeanor, and a few important
questions that the employer is likely to ask.
