150 Nail the Job Interview!

If
. you had to briefly describe this organiz,ation, what would you
say? What about its employees? Its managers and supervisors?
Its performance evaluation system? Its p;t-omotion practices?

If
. you had to do it all over again, would YCJU have made the same
decision to join this organization? Why?

. Assuming my work is excellent, where might you see me in
another five years within this organization?

These are not necessarily the exact questions you may want to ask. For
example, if yesterday’s paper mentions downsizing plans at the company,
then go directly to a question as to how that will affect the job and
department. Also, this is not an exhaustive list of all the company-related
questions you may need to ask pertinent to ycur situation. These ques-
tions should provide you with a starting point from which to devise the
questions you need to ask.

Questions About the Job

Your questions about the company were designed to get a sense of where
the company is headed and perhaps its corporate philosophy. Questions
about the job will relate more specifically to the day-to-day activities you
could expect if you were to join this organization. You may wish to ask
about some of the following concerns.

1 How did this opening occur? Is it a newly created position or did
someone recently leave the position?

. Tell me about the nature of the work I would be doing most of
the time.

. What kinds of peripheral tasks would likely tale up the balance
of my time?

. What would be my most important duties? Responsibilities?

. What types of projects would I be involved with?
