Be yourself, gosh that's so important, if you try to be someone else and then they hire you it can make your life miserable

remember that this job interview is both ways, you want to make sure they meet your qualifications too. You don't want a dead-end job.
AZJazzyJ says

find out why the last person who had this job left, it might be a telling sign of company behavior or give you insight to opportunities
germaine says

AZJazzyJ he wants this job...
AZJazzyJ says

we all want a new job but how many after getting it wish they would have asked more questions before hand.
AZJazzyJ says

if you are transferring to a different department knowing what happened to the last person could be a tell as to management style.

that even though this new job may not be his ideal one it is guarenteed to be 10x better than the one he currently has
germaine says

he wants it more than what he is doing... if it doesn't work out... then he can move on... it's the same employer

I like that question Jane!

I always ask, "what kind of boss would you make?" or "What can I learn from you?"
AZJazzyJ says
17 years ago
as an interviewer I always end each interview with "Is there 1 question you wish I would have asked but didn't?"
AZJazzyJ says
17 years ago
as an interviewee I always ask "what are the 5 most important challenges you must solve in the next 12 months and how are you doing on them"
ThoughtWrong says
17 years ago
that is the best question I have ever heard janechin and I will use that tommorrow. Thanks for that tidbit of advice :-D
