I did this once “based on my experience and resume and how I did today in this interview do you see me doing well in this role “.

A very bad way to end the interview. I didn’t get that job . Yes ask questions but I don’t suggest that you ask them this question specifically.
the question the video ask is diffirent though. you asked if you would do well in this role. This question is close ended so it does not allow for space for the interviewer to give an awnser that allows him to communicate his thoughts. whereas the dude in the video is asking how would you plan to use my skills to help the company. this question isnt asking am i good enough for the role but it is asking what areas in the company do you need help in and how can I help.

Interviwers are humans too, and you usually know the interview ended well if it ended on a more conversational note. Not asking questions makes it seem very one-sided.

Interesting. I had a second interview with a company last week and they “closed” with ~”Do you gave any questions for me?” I responded with, “If I we’re to join your company what would the process be like as I’m getting started in the position?” They responded with, ~“That’s a great question.” I now have a third interview scheduled with another person in the company. In that last interview I just came right out and said, “I like what your company is doing and where they’re trying to go and I’d like to be a part of it” - that was about 2/3 of the way through the interview. I didn’t say those things because I had been researching what to say, they were just authentic and spontaneous comments/questions and watching this video reminded me of those things. Great channel - very practical and entertaining! Thanks! 👍🏻
Hi Don, I asked the same question in my interview and it was the first time to the recruiter that someone asked this question to her and she was very happy to answer this question and I got the Job I want. Thanks for your all videos. You are really doing a great job.
😂😂😂😂 I did this last week … but I just say no nothing I think of currently. But I got called for a 2nd interview…. I’m excited I hate interviews tho I usually go thru temp services to avoid them… Im already a person that doesn’t talk much unless I’m comfortable and even then I have a hard time finding words… But this helps I’m definitely gonna try it
They usually always ask the same questions, prepare an interview Bank of answers with carefully chosen scenarios (answers in the S.T.A.R format) under the different categories of interview questions. And add to it and update it over your career lifetime. Types of questions. Motivational (they want to know what you're motivated by so they know if you'll stay in the job long or they have to interview again in 6 months) Behavioural; they give you situations that usually occur in their company/professional settings and want to know how you'll act so you don't get overwhelmed or blow up and ruin reputations (tell us about time you had to work under pressure/difficult person/ deadline/ when you took the initiative ) Competency; How well you can do the technical aspects of the job, skillsets and stuff
Well because im not actually that interested I just want money im just keeping it real. I dont care about your company man just hire me and I will be a solid worker
It’s crap having to jump through hoops for these people when in reality in a lot of situations you are more qualified then they are for the job…. Sucks…
I completely agree with you! You go to all the trouble in preparing for the interview, and they NEVER seem to prepare before you get to them. It’s like they are looking at my resume for the first time- instead of preparing (like we all have to do) beforehand. It’s so upsetting 😞
That’s why the best policy is to always just be upfront and honest. I just tell them that I’m nervous because I’m excited about the idea of working there and that I have anxiety. Every single time I’ve done that, I’ve landed the job because I wasn’t trying to play myself up or be something I wasn’t.
I did what you said and it worked at the end of the interview she asked Do you have any questions? Just to say this company has 100's of different positions. I asked her is there a position that you think I may qualify for that I may not know about she said let me see...when she refreshed her page a position came up that I had applied for. Got the Job!
@@veronicalagor4771 And every interviewer says, "I been with the company 10 years blah blah blah..." Then I visit their LinkedIn page and see they job jump ever 14 to 20 months like everyone else who never gets a merit increase unless they quit.
As someone who’s interviewed all over the sports industry and have worked my way up from grounds at the YMCA to working in the NFL here are my tips. First is to just smile and look genuinely excited about getting to meet with this person. Remember to always make eye contact even if its at the camera and be CONFIDENT in yourself, they wouldn’t be talking to you if they weren’t impressed with your resume/cover letter. Have prepared questions along with having the job description and details up so its readily available to site while doing the interview. Other than that be yourself, take a deep breath, dont speak too fast, and have water next to you lol
I went for a job at Lowe’s head cashier, I waited a week and no call, I nailed that interview, UNTIL they asked do you have any questions. I said no you answered all my questions. I just called them and told them after watching a video (this video) I knew I blew it. And I did. So I can’t tell you enough thank you for this video, you live and learn.
I did this in a job interview as i panicked and drew a blank...i got offered the job, but i guarantee its only because i worked with a sub for years for the company (so i already had a reputation) and this was for the company itself. Walked out of an interview that lasted 3h45m trying to actively avoid repeatedly slamming my hand on my forehead saying "stupid, stupid, stupid"
I never have any questions because they basically tell you everything you need to know as long as you actually engage in conversation…more often than not my interviews always go from like 3 or 4 questions to an entire conversation about ourselves the rest of the time I’m there🤷🏾♂️ but I’m young and willing to work so I think that’s always gonna work in my favor
I have personally never asked a question to an interviewer, and I get the job most of the time lol. Just be yourself and forget about these people fearmongering job interviews.
@@DonGeorgevich Most of the time the info I care about is already on the job posting, and sometimes the job interviewer provides the info without asking (usually when they give the details about the company/job at the beginning).
Very true to an extent.. there are an will be plenty of jobs that will hire you if you kill the interview and dont have many questions. Especially if you ask any during the interview, you'll seem more engaged
It depends on where you’re working. I think some jobs definitely go overboard with their interview process considering the job position. I’m going for an interview in my local hospital in an hour as a food service worker, after only really having worked in factories. Definitely a different vibe! I’ll come back with an update 😅
@ I did not :( but it was actually a different pay than what was posted, and not guaranteed hours. I got a warehouse job with guaranteed hours, unionized, and pays more than what I would make at the hospital. Win win
Sometimes when I did not ask a question at the end, it means I did not want to work there and I was done. I didn't like the recruiter or hiring manager anyway. The whole company and place was not acceptable to me. They all seemed FAKE.
As someone who has conducted interviews for several companies this is not a universal truth. If someone has been engaging during the interview and asked plenty of questions why do they need to save some random ones for the end? Better to show engagement the whole way through than try to make up for poor engagement at the end. I ALWAYS say "Do you have any questions...don't worry, it is PERFECTLY FINE if you don't, it's not like you need 3 deep questions to ask at the end" precisely to make people who see such videos as this feel comfortable and not to worry. Besides, if someone has a great final question but utterly failed the technical part then they cannot do the job, simple as. Each role and interview is unique, it depends on the job, the interviewer and the interviewee. Saying "No, I don't have any questions" is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE if you've been a lively engaged in the interview.
Thing I ask would be like : what's your favorite/most exciting moment at the job,or what would be a challenging task I may face while working with my role so basically think about questions that would make them think
A great example of a question, but don’t be scared if you don’t have any questions. Any senior recruiter will take in everything else in account and focus on what they actually can compare to what is needed and demanded for the job. Unless asking questions in an interview is the demand for the position
If you’re going into a job as a young man with minimum experience and education always act in a way that shows you are serious about the job and you will do whatever it takes to get it done. To be a power achiever. An overdoer. At the end of the interview when they ask if you have a question ask how to the team morale is. Then state how you will add to the team. A team player is a good worker.
I am so enthused to apply this insightful question into a future interview since it is, like you said, a trigger to challenge them to visualize me in that specific scenario. Also, this question shows that I have been thinking about me working for them and create the chance for them to think of the same thing too.
As an interviewee, it's also a problem when I actually do have questions and the interviewer is suddenly done with the interview 😮 Remember friends, job interviews go both ways
“Do you have any questions?” “…yes…can I sleep at my desk if I bring in my own pillow? Is it frowned upon by HR if I occasionally take home the loo roll for personal use to save on my weekly shopping bills?”
I’m a hiring manager and a business owner and while I don’t think his suggestion is a very good question, it’s absolutely true that your questions are a difference maker. For everyone whining in the comments, we’re not looking for you to do gymnastics. We have work to get done, and we need to know if you can do it. The questions you ask show us how much you understand the outcome you’re expected to achieve, and how likely you are to achieve it.
I recently had an interview where I didn't get the job. I had about 10 questions to ask them. Then again, I consider myself a hard worker and pick things up pretty quickly. I'm just crap at interviews
The interviewer doesn’t know what I have in my mind and everything I thought of seems like a blur at the end! Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll come back and let you know how I feel about the interview!
My questions: Why did this position got open. Followed with if position was open cuz someone someone quit. Why did they quit was for a better job opportunity or was it toxic work environment?
This is ridiculous, both the employer and employees know the reason we're applying for the job is for this money. But we have to do this stupid dance where we pretend that we actually care about their stupid company
I love being able to ask the interviewer questions. It always surprises them especially if I have ones that aren't just about the wage or benefits. I always ask about training and learning opportunities. I also always ask what the ideal traits would be for that job position. (You may think it's clear-- but this helps clarify expectations)
I am a HR and have been on many interview panels .. and I must say , it had no effect if candidates asks questions or no question. Yes of course , if candidates ask smart questions, panel may get impressed but no one was ever rejected because they didn’t have any question in the end. Sorry , it a just a myth that you must ask questions.
Well, yeah..that’s true and all but. What do I say when they ask “Why do you want to work here?” “I’m very passionate about not starving to death.” Most people mainly work for money. Hobbies in ones free time is something else. My point is if they offer me a job and I want the money. It’s irrelevant if I have any questions for them. To me whenever I see ‘now hiring’ I’m expecting them to hire me when they’re looking for positions to fill. It reminds me of the book What Color Is Your Parachute. Boles says employees do everything on applications and resumes to get hired. And employers do everything not to hire you regardless of your actual skill for the job or not.
If the job candidate researched well enough the company before going to the interview, sure he/she will have even inteligent questions to ask. And hiring managers appreciate the candidate's curiosity and critical thinking in the process.
Imagine someone doing this at a interview for a McDonald's interview 😂😂😂 they probably wouldn't hire you because they think you are too difficult or overqualified
It WORKED! Lmao just had a phone interview and she she any questions. I asked her where you see me in 6 months working here. She laid out the whole plan where she sees me and how she she’s me learning fast and all 😂
I don't know? If I interviewed you, Showed around the building, told you the salary, and what the next steps will be. And I'm ready for my break? You still have questions?
I said many times I have no more questions if I really felt like the company explained everything very well and I know everything and I nearly all the time got a job. I guess it's really important to talk with them during an interview and listen so they feel like you want that job.
I've been on the other side as a manager. I completely agree. If no questions are asked, it's clear that the interviewee is not interested in the position.
This is nonsense. I can only imagine how many qualified candidates you've screwed over with that very wrong mentality. Most times, an interviewee just doesn't have any questions because everything has been answered. Sometimes the person is nervous and can't think of anything. After all, people are human and human psychology is at play. But most times, the job is so basic and straightforward that there isn't anything to ask about it. I swear, so many of the wrong people are in hiring positions that it's really a travesty. When I hired people, the "Do you have any questions" part was something I never cared about, and I usually nailed good employees. I looked for reasons to hire people, not disqualify them over petty things. Good Lord, smh.
Its a dumb thing to conclude. The candidate took his time to fill out an application; get ready for an interview, and drive to your place. These are all much more important things that actually SHOW wether or not a candidate is interested in working there, than whether or not he had any questions for you at the end of the interview...
And I raise you the answer. I've done my research on my questions. Tell them the answers. Then, say,'My only question is how happy are the people who work here?
It rly depends on the company. If its a company beeing desperate for some employes (because some seniors left for example because if getting to old or such) they will more likly hire u. Also it depends on the interviewer. Some care about your initiative and some dont. If you already made a good impression before they might not even ask
In my head, I’m like at stage, four and five of an inch of after preparing 30 hours and talking to a multitude of people, if you have questions left on, answered, that’s on you. It’s hard to come up with them that late, but I think that if you’re meeting different people, go through the same thing with them (and importantly * maintaining continuous contact and updates with your recruiter working with you*)
Ask for specifics on what you would be doing. Ask about the current work pipeline. Ask about the companies strategic priorities, how the business unit fits in with the rest of the company, ask for the 5 year plan, anything else that shows your trying to slot yourself in and that you can ask other follow up questions.
I just go with my “no you answered all the questions I had” or say “actually yes, what can you describe about working with this company as this position”
"Do you have any questions for us?" "Yes. I'm sure you have your list of expectations for a worker. Suppose a new hire exceeds those expectations, but the methods are not what you've seen before. So it's not immediately obvious that the new hire's methods are more effective. Should the worker back off and adopt less effective methods in order to gain appreciation within the company, while losing trust from the customer?"
"Do you have any questions for us?" "Yes, but I wouldn't believe the answers." Sometimes you have to be at a job for months before you learn the score. I just don't know how to ask Qs that could discover red flags without sounding combative. I end up relying solely on unforced errors.
I asked the interviewer of his opinion about how I convey the messages and if there anything I missed to discuss. He told me that he is not in the position to say because they are still not yet done interviewing others. I find it very irrelevant to my question.
Just had interview with HR Talent Acquisition, which is the initial interview prior to the hiring manager... she asked me do i have questions? I said yes, and asked the first and second question, which was asking about company culture, i had a 3rd question prepared to ask. After she answered the second question she said, "Thank you for your questions, and cut the interview. I still had 5 min remaining. Overall the interview went well, i answered all the questions correctly, she did seem a bit condescending.
I asked questions plenty of times evem came with them wrote down one time and nothing it's a mental and picky game with hiring managers even jobs I'm qualified for nothing i had an interview at Panda Express treated poorly before the interview on top of the interview manager being horribly late while i noticed she was talking to a candidate before me evem tho i was there first and he was bragging about his bachelor's degree and all these big time positions he had i finally got my interview time asked questions and was told I'd get a second interview i got a rejection email not even 20 mins of leaving the parking lot i even had an interview at a grocery store called the fresh market and the lady already had her favorite candidate's application pulled out and thought i was HER when i told her I wasn't her whole mood changed and after i told her i was looking for full time she said she'd call me if something opened and put away my application in the file in my face with a grin i almost cried when i got in the parking lot there's a lot more horrible stories i could tell the point is sometimes it's not candidate's it's MANGER'S
Job interviews are like our high school syllabus, we never would face those scenarios on the actual job like it’s just a gateway to get into a good school with your grades 😂
I was interviewed in a job twice and I answered “No, I don’t have any question”. And I was hired twice.😂 Employers are looking on the your experience and how will you contribute to their needs. Not because of that simple question that you answered no they’ll turn you down. I think?
That does happen. That's the part least talked about. Hiring managers can be intimidated by a bright candidate. There are a lot of weak leaders out there.
Insane how interviewers speak basically a different language from potential workers. Like dude, I'm here to make bread just like you, why is me prolonging the conversation through roundabout questions about not so relevant stuff a measuring stick of whether or not I'm invested.
I slip my questions in during the interview, so that when they ask me this question, I can thank them for having answered them already, and point out that a worker's holding off on questions can lead to inefficiency or worse. If it's not the first interview, I just say I got my questions answered in a prior meeting.
It’s insane how job interviews are harder than the actual job you will be doing
Fr 😂
I hope I get a pass because my bro works there so he can vouch for me
Yes, it's always nerve wrecking. You're judged by how well you speak and how you replied to each questions

@@DonGeorgevich Thanks a lot Don
I tell them that they covered everything very well and that I understand the duties of the position. My only question is, when can I start
Does it work? I have a interview tomorrow at 2:30😭
@@Xoxo_LoveSku11zI got an interview today at 3pm.. wish me luck gang 🤞🏽
@@Xoxo_LoveSku11zgood luck bro n be confident in the way you carry yourself and speak. We got this man! 😭
@@Bruceybwoyahhh thank you😭 I'm nervous this is my first job 😭
@@Bruceybwoyahhh I HOPE YOU DID AWESOME!
It's a lie. I told them I don't have any question during all the three interviews, and I declined the offer due to low pay.
Then why did you apply?
@@SunTzuArtOfWar4 because they don't put salary in the offers...
😂😂😂😂 I did this last week … but I just say no nothing I think of currently. But I got called for a 2nd interview…. I’m excited
I hate interviews tho I usually go thru temp services to avoid them… Im already a person that doesn’t talk much unless I’m comfortable and even then I have a hard time finding words…
But this helps I’m definitely gonna try it
I'm the very same! I go blank when asked a question sometimes. Btw what did you mean temp services? like recruitment agencies?
@@savindyawalpola6350Yes temporary jobs. Even though most of them usually hire you on if you have a good attendance and quality work ethic
They usually always ask the same questions, prepare an interview Bank of answers with carefully chosen scenarios (answers in the S.T.A.R format) under the different categories of interview questions. And add to it and update it over your career lifetime.
Types of questions.
Motivational (they want to know what you're motivated by so they know if you'll stay in the job long or they have to interview again in 6 months)
Behavioural; they give you situations that usually occur in their company/professional settings and want to know how you'll act so you don't get overwhelmed or blow up and ruin reputations (tell us about time you had to work under pressure/difficult person/ deadline/ when you took the initiative )
Competency; How well you can do the technical aspects of the job, skillsets and stuff
Well because im not actually that interested I just want money im just keeping it real. I dont care about your company man just hire me and I will be a solid worker
Facts😂
😎👍
😬
I've made this mistake before. Point well taken.
It’s crap having to jump through hoops for these people when in reality in a lot of situations you are more qualified then they are for the job…. Sucks…
I completely agree with you! You go to all the trouble in preparing for the interview, and they NEVER seem to prepare before you get to them. It’s like they are looking at my resume for the first time- instead of preparing (like we all have to do) beforehand. It’s so upsetting 😞
That’s why the best policy is to always just be upfront and honest. I just tell them that I’m nervous because I’m excited about the idea of working there and that I have anxiety. Every single time I’ve done that, I’ve landed the job because I wasn’t trying to play myself up or be something I wasn’t.
I did what you said and it worked at the end of the interview she asked Do you have any questions? Just to say this company has 100's of different positions. I asked her is there a position that you think I may qualify for that I may not know about she said let me see...when she refreshed her page a position came up that I had applied for. Got the Job!
I tend to ask them how long they've been with the company and what makes them want to stay
Genius!! 👏 👏
whats the repsonse
That’s why I ALWAYS google questions to ask and write them down because if I can’t think of any questions at least I got my pre-written questions.
Maybe we learned in the interview that we actually don't want to work there.
Honestly, half the time, the interviewer doesn't even seem like they want to work there, hahaha
@@veronicalagor4771 And every interviewer says, "I been with the company 10 years blah blah blah..." Then I visit their LinkedIn page and see they job jump ever 14 to 20 months like everyone else who never gets a merit increase unless they quit.
@@veronicalagor4771 bro i swear i had an interview and the interviewer didnt care at all about what i said and then she quit like 1 week later lol
As someone who’s interviewed all over the sports industry and have worked my way up from grounds at the YMCA to working in the NFL here are my tips. First is to just smile and look genuinely excited about getting to meet with this person. Remember to always make eye contact even if its at the camera and be CONFIDENT in yourself, they wouldn’t be talking to you if they weren’t impressed with your resume/cover letter. Have prepared questions along with having the job description and details up so its readily available to site while doing the interview. Other than that be yourself, take a deep breath, dont speak too fast, and have water next to you lol
I'm someone who is looking to get into the sports industry, How did you get into it and any advice you could give brother?
Why else would I be there? They're hiring and bills don't wait.
Right!
I went for a job at Lowe’s head cashier, I waited a week and no call, I nailed that interview, UNTIL they asked do you have any questions. I said no you answered all my questions. I just called them and told them after watching a video (this video) I knew I blew it. And I did. So I can’t tell you enough thank you for this video, you live and learn.
Hope I get the McDonald’s job
Heyyy did ya get it?
@@Elhastezy888^
And I hope to get the Walmart’s job
@@mirwaisroshan5543i worked there for five years, you’ll like it 👍🏻
@@luna2280 do they pay well- and how's the job overall?
My go to is ALWAYS" what can you offer me other than money?"
I did this in a job interview as i panicked and drew a blank...i got offered the job, but i guarantee its only because i worked with a sub for years for the company (so i already had a reputation) and this was for the company itself. Walked out of an interview that lasted 3h45m trying to actively avoid repeatedly slamming my hand on my forehead saying "stupid, stupid, stupid"
This question brought me a job offer. Thanks Don!
I never have any questions because they basically tell you everything you need to know as long as you actually engage in conversation…more often than not my interviews always go from like 3 or 4 questions to an entire conversation about ourselves the rest of the time I’m there🤷🏾♂️ but I’m young and willing to work so I think that’s always gonna work in my favor
I have personally never asked a question to an interviewer, and I get the job most of the time lol. Just be yourself and forget about these people fearmongering job interviews.
is there a reason you don't have any questions about where you aim to work?
@@DonGeorgevich Most of the time the info I care about is already on the job posting, and sometimes the job interviewer provides the info without asking (usually when they give the details about the company/job at the beginning).
@@JoseCoss64yeah its a weird concept that you "have" to have questions for the sake of asking, like you're just completing checkpoints
@@AxeDragon1989 it is weird indeed, but its a part of the stupid game you have to play with the interviewer which like everybody expects you to play
Fearmongering, ok lol
Honestly, this is the best piece of advice I got this year, to challenge them with that beautiful question. Thanks
Oh Don!
You melt all my interview fears...thanks a ton!
Very true to an extent.. there are an will be plenty of jobs that will hire you if you kill the interview and dont have many questions. Especially if you ask any during the interview, you'll seem more engaged
Amazing! Used this exact line and got a job offer. Thank you!
Even when u do have question the employer is still not impress or guaranteed to hired u so don’t let this fool u.
I hope so much I get this job tomorrow. I’m OD’ing on your videos. ☘️ 🍀
It depends on where you’re working. I think some jobs definitely go overboard with their interview process considering the job position. I’m going for an interview in my local hospital in an hour as a food service worker, after only really having worked in factories. Definitely a different vibe! I’ll come back with an update 😅
Did you get it🤔
@ I did not :( but it was actually a different pay than what was posted, and not guaranteed hours. I got a warehouse job with guaranteed hours, unionized, and pays more than what I would make at the hospital. Win win
I've been answering with, "when can I start?" And I'm not so sure it's working... Thanks for this.
Sometimes when I did not ask a question at the end, it means I did not want to work there and I was done. I didn't like the recruiter or hiring manager anyway. The whole company and place was not acceptable to me. They all seemed FAKE.
you're totally right about it! because i did this mistake and i didn't get job:(
As someone who has conducted interviews for several companies this is not a universal truth.
If someone has been engaging during the interview and asked plenty of questions why do they need to save some random ones for the end? Better to show engagement the whole way through than try to make up for poor engagement at the end. I ALWAYS say "Do you have any questions...don't worry, it is PERFECTLY FINE if you don't, it's not like you need 3 deep questions to ask at the end" precisely to make people who see such videos as this feel comfortable and not to worry.
Besides, if someone has a great final question but utterly failed the technical part then they cannot do the job, simple as.
Each role and interview is unique, it depends on the job, the interviewer and the interviewee.
Saying "No, I don't have any questions" is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE if you've been a lively engaged in the interview.
Thing I ask would be like : what's your favorite/most exciting moment at the job,or what would be a challenging task I may face while working with my role so basically think about questions that would make them think
ty
And they never answer 😂
Its always "Well it depends..." and you didn't get your answer and you see even less of a point asking questions
A great example of a question, but don’t be scared if you don’t have any questions. Any senior recruiter will take in everything else in account and focus on what they actually can compare to what is needed and demanded for the job. Unless asking questions in an interview is the demand for the position
If you’re going into a job as a young man with minimum experience and education always act in a way that shows you are serious about the job and you will do whatever it takes to get it done. To be a power achiever. An overdoer. At the end of the interview when they ask if you have a question ask how to the team morale is. Then state how you will add to the team. A team player is a good worker.
I am so enthused to apply this insightful question into a future interview since it is, like you said, a trigger to challenge them to visualize me in that specific scenario. Also, this question shows that I have been thinking about me working for them and create the chance for them to think of the same thing too.
As an interviewee, it's also a problem when I actually do have questions and the interviewer is suddenly done with the interview 😮
Remember friends, job interviews go both ways
“Do you have any questions?”
“…yes…can I sleep at my desk if I bring in my own pillow? Is it frowned upon by HR if I occasionally take home the loo roll for personal use to save on my weekly shopping bills?”
I have done well in an interview and answered this Q with "No, I don't have any questions" and got the job and it was an engineering position ;)
I’m a hiring manager and a business owner and while I don’t think his suggestion is a very good question, it’s absolutely true that your questions are a difference maker.
For everyone whining in the comments, we’re not looking for you to do gymnastics.
We have work to get done, and we need to know if you can do it.
The questions you ask show us how much you understand the outcome you’re expected to achieve, and how likely you are to achieve it.
I recently had an interview where I didn't get the job. I had about 10 questions to ask them. Then again, I consider myself a hard worker and pick things up pretty quickly. I'm just crap at interviews
This type of thing is why we have so many incompetent people in roles they shouldnt have.
maybe, but I don't think employers are aiming for that.
Heuristics galore! Jumping to silly conclusions is definitely hurting the workforce
The interviewer doesn’t know what I have in my mind and everything I thought of seems like a blur at the end! Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll come back and let you know how I feel about the interview!
My questions:
Why did this position got open. Followed with if position was open cuz someone someone quit. Why did they quit was for a better job opportunity or was it toxic work environment?
This is ridiculous, both the employer and employees know the reason we're applying for the job is for this money. But we have to do this stupid dance where we pretend that we actually care about their stupid company
I love being able to ask the interviewer questions.
It always surprises them especially if I have ones that aren't just about the wage or benefits.
I always ask about training and learning opportunities.
I also always ask what the ideal traits would be for that job position. (You may think it's clear-- but this helps clarify expectations)
I am a HR and have been on many interview panels .. and I must say , it had no effect if candidates asks questions or no question. Yes of course , if candidates ask smart questions, panel may get impressed but no one was ever rejected because they didn’t have any question in the end. Sorry , it a just a myth that you must ask questions.
I always say no questions and always got the job. BUT this is still great advice. 😊
Well, yeah..that’s true and all but. What do I say when they ask “Why do you want to work here?” “I’m very passionate about not starving to death.” Most people mainly work for money. Hobbies in ones free time is something else. My point is if they offer me a job and I want the money. It’s irrelevant if I have any questions for them. To me whenever I see ‘now hiring’ I’m expecting them to hire me when they’re looking for positions to fill. It reminds me of the book What Color Is Your Parachute. Boles says employees do everything on applications and resumes to get hired. And employers do everything not to hire you regardless of your actual skill for the job or not.
If the job candidate researched well enough the company before going to the interview, sure he/she will have even inteligent questions to ask. And hiring managers appreciate the candidate's curiosity and critical thinking in the process.
or they explained the job correctly and you have a good understanding
Another one you can say is "Yes just one, How can I exceed your exceptions for this role ?"
Imagine someone doing this at a interview for a McDonald's interview 😂😂😂 they probably wouldn't hire you because they think you are too difficult or overqualified
It WORKED! Lmao just had a phone interview and she she any questions. I asked her where you see me in 6 months working here. She laid out the whole plan where she sees me and how she she’s me learning fast and all 😂
Had to interview with 3 managers, and I had two questions prepared for each, they were valid as well,
I don't know? If I interviewed you, Showed around the building, told you the salary, and what the next steps will be. And I'm ready for my break? You still have questions?
Showing you around the building? That's not typical.
I said many times I have no more questions if I really felt like the company explained everything very well and I know everything and I nearly all the time got a job. I guess it's really important to talk with them during an interview and listen so they feel like you want that job.
I've been on the other side as a manager. I completely agree. If no questions are asked, it's clear that the interviewee is not interested in the position.
exactly
This is nonsense. I can only imagine how many qualified candidates you've screwed over with that very wrong mentality. Most times, an interviewee just doesn't have any questions because everything has been answered. Sometimes the person is nervous and can't think of anything. After all, people are human and human psychology is at play. But most times, the job is so basic and straightforward that there isn't anything to ask about it.
I swear, so many of the wrong people are in hiring positions that it's really a travesty. When I hired people, the "Do you have any questions" part was something I never cared about, and I usually nailed good employees. I looked for reasons to hire people, not disqualify them over petty things. Good Lord, smh.
Its a dumb thing to conclude. The candidate took his time to fill out an application; get ready for an interview, and drive to your place. These are all much more important things that actually SHOW wether or not a candidate is interested in working there, than whether or not he had any questions for you at the end of the interview...
Mind is blown !!! Good tactic!
I always try to have at least 2 questions ready
like what? :O
And I raise you the answer. I've done my research on my questions. Tell them the answers. Then, say,'My only question is how happy are the people who work here?
I didn't have any questions in my last job interview and got hired. 🤷♂️
It rly depends on the company. If its a company beeing desperate for some employes (because some seniors left for example because if getting to old or such) they will more likly hire u.
Also it depends on the interviewer. Some care about your initiative and some dont. If you already made a good impression before they might not even ask
Sometimes the sun even shines on a dog's butt.
Yeah...there are exceptions to the rule, you know.
In my head, I’m like at stage, four and five of an inch of after preparing 30 hours and talking to a multitude of people, if you have questions left on, answered, that’s on you. It’s hard to come up with them that late, but I think that if you’re meeting different people, go through the same thing with them (and importantly * maintaining continuous contact and updates with your recruiter working with you*)
That’s basically my go to ask. “What does my first week look like, 3rd month expectations, etc”
I always say that I did but they were all answered during our conversation / interview
I didn’t have any questions and still managed to get the job at Target!
Ask for specifics on what you would be doing. Ask about the current work pipeline. Ask about the companies strategic priorities, how the business unit fits in with the rest of the company, ask for the 5 year plan, anything else that shows your trying to slot yourself in and that you can ask other follow up questions.
I just go with my “no you answered all the questions I had” or say “actually yes, what can you describe about working with this company as this position”
"Do you have any questions for us?"
"Yes. I'm sure you have your list of expectations for a worker. Suppose a new hire exceeds those expectations, but the methods are not what you've seen before. So it's not immediately obvious that the new hire's methods are more effective. Should the worker back off and adopt less effective methods in order to gain appreciation within the company, while losing trust from the customer?"
"Do you have any questions for us?"
"Yes, but I wouldn't believe the answers."
Sometimes you have to be at a job for months before you learn the score. I just don't know how to ask Qs that could discover red flags without sounding combative. I end up relying solely on unforced errors.
I asked the interviewer of his opinion about how I convey the messages and if there anything I missed to discuss. He told me that he is not in the position to say because they are still not yet done interviewing others. I find it very irrelevant to my question.
Just had interview with HR Talent Acquisition, which is the initial interview prior to the hiring manager... she asked me do i have questions? I said yes, and asked the first and second question, which was asking about company culture, i had a 3rd question prepared to ask. After she answered the second question she said, "Thank you for your questions, and cut the interview. I still had 5 min remaining. Overall the interview went well, i answered all the questions correctly, she did seem a bit condescending.
I asked questions plenty of times evem came with them wrote down one time and nothing it's a mental and picky game with hiring managers even jobs I'm qualified for nothing i had an interview at Panda Express treated poorly before the interview on top of the interview manager being horribly late while i noticed she was talking to a candidate before me evem tho i was there first and he was bragging about his bachelor's degree and all these big time positions he had i finally got my interview time asked questions and was told I'd get a second interview i got a rejection email not even 20 mins of leaving the parking lot i even had an interview at a grocery store called the fresh market and the lady already had her favorite candidate's application pulled out and thought i was HER when i told her I wasn't her whole mood changed and after i told her i was looking for full time she said she'd call me if something opened and put away my application in the file in my face with a grin i almost cried when i got in the parking lot there's a lot more horrible stories i could tell the point is sometimes it's not candidate's it's MANGER'S
Great advice. Im subbing.
Research the company and the role ahead of time to understand how to put them on the spot.
Thx for sharing, good point 👍💪
Job interviews are like our high school syllabus, we never would face those scenarios on the actual job like it’s just a gateway to get into a good school with your grades 😂
i usually ask about their bad reviews from former employees if there was a significant amount of them (especially if job sites rate them below 3.5.)
Super helpful! Thank you!!
I was interviewed in a job twice and I answered “No, I don’t have any question”. And I was hired twice.😂 Employers are looking on the your experience and how will you contribute to their needs. Not because of that simple question that you answered no they’ll turn you down. I think?
I ask so many questions that I seem like a stalker and they still won't hire me :(
Thank you for your help!
Do you have any questions?
Sir/ma'am,if we were come to an arrangement where you offered me the position, how do you see me fitting in around here?
I’ve said NO before and got the job.
Ive asked questions and they didnt no the answer. They got shame and didnt hire me. 😔
That does happen. That's the part least talked about. Hiring managers can be intimidated by a bright candidate. There are a lot of weak leaders out there.
Insane how interviewers speak basically a different language from potential workers. Like dude, I'm here to make bread just like you, why is me prolonging the conversation through roundabout questions about not so relevant stuff a measuring stick of whether or not I'm invested.
Has life always been a massive charade
I slip my questions in during the interview, so that when they ask me this question, I can thank them for having answered them already, and point out that a worker's holding off on questions can lead to inefficiency or worse.
If it's not the first interview, I just say I got my questions answered in a prior meeting.
Wow this is probably why I didn't get the job yesterday after my interview because I said no I don't have any questions for you
