Question: Hi, I have a job interview next week, and I desperately want the job for various personal reasons. I understand its important to have a good positive discussion with the employer during the interview. What questions can you ask the employer during the job interview?

My job interview is for role of Manager of the Tech department of a local office store. I know they are going to ask me if I have any questions. What are the good things to ask them? And what should I avoid asking? Is it good to ask about opportunity for advancement, and/or getting raises, and/or benefits, and/or overtime?

Answer: You surely want to find out if the job is right for you. Here is a list of questions you should ask:

  • What do you expect from a manager of the tech department?
  • With whom would I be working with?
  • What are the performance measurement criteria on the job?
  • Who was the last person doing this job?
  • What are the career growth opportunities?
  • When do you expect to make a decision about the position?

You can also ask about the general policy for taking time off. It’s an important thing to know if you have kids.
