A Job interview is always a two Way Street, at the same time it is the last barrier you need to outshine in order to land that coveted job. It is said that all is well that ends well, so be prepared to end strong and maximize your chances of success.
Be very well prepared to seal the deal when the interviewers ask, if you have some questions that you want to ask, this generally happens at the end of the interview. This indeed is a golden opportunity to be able to go above and beyond.
Never let such an opportunity go waste, prepare well in advance, and for God’s sake never ever ask regular questions as what a typical day is like. Seize this opportunity to try and impress them with more thoughtful questions.
The trick is to keenly pay attention to the probing and pointed questions being asked by the interviewer, and a surefire option is to then turn the spotlight right back at the interviewer, preferably towards the end of the interview, for the sake of added clarity, let us see how it works in practice, as theory would be able to carry you this far only.
Just ensure that you ask the very same questions the interviewer asked you by rephrasing it. For instance it is quite likely that during the course of the interview, you may have been asked, like why are you interested in working for us, ask back, what made you ( the interviewer) decide to work here in the first place.
When they ask you, where do you see five years down the line, just kind of retort in a witty manner, never sound rude, you may go ahead and ask the interviewer, where does he or she see the organization in the next five years.
When asked how if you can walk them through your typical day, you may probe back by asking how they envision a typical work day in the present role, the interviewer is trying to find how your current workday relates to the present role and you can effectively communicate the rundown of your duties. Shine by providing a clear play – by – play narrative, and come across as an able ambassador for the prospective organization as well.
