You have probably sat and wondered what is the best question or questions to ask during your interview with a potential new employer. Should you ask for more details about the job itself, should you ask about company culture, or about pay?
The truth is, the best question to ask has nothing to do with the company, the job itself, or even the pay. The best question you can ask at the end of your interview is about you. While this is the most difficult question to ask, it will produce the best results. Ask the interview if they feel you will be a match for the position, and if there is anything they did not like about you and your abilities.
If you can get through the fear of asking this question, you will stand out from your competition. Here are some benefits you will see from asking this question:
- When you ask the interviewer this question directly at the end of the interview, you show them you are interested in learning how to improve yourself and your abilities. It shows you are interested in the position and the company. It gives you a voice.
- When you ask this question, it will set you apart from other job candidates. Most candidates are afraid to ask this question. This will show the hiring manager you have faith in yourself and your abilities and will focus on the feedback given.
- When you ask this question, you will be viewed as confident and professional. Most hiring managers are looking for team members that are active, not passive employees that will not contribute to the company’s goals and vision.
While it may be difficult for you to ask this interview question, the rewards you will reap will be well worth it. Try practicing the question on family members or friends. Allow them to give you feedback, so you can practice your response. Use it at your next interview and discover a different outcome.
