What questions, should you ask in an interview?
7
Have a second interview Thursday. Definitely not my first rodeo but the longer I go unemployed, the less confident I feel. That being said this company is specifically going to use the STAR interviewing Style. I've done my research on the history of the company, etc but I am finding it so difficult to memorize my answers in the STAR format, I'm going to have to use my notes. Tell me I'm not the only one struggling w/this 🙏🏻
What do you think of these answers from the Hiring Managers to my questions? What are the metrics/volume that a person handles in this role? Supervisor: There are no metrics. We don't count. We care more about quality. How do you split the work among different people in the team? Supervisor: We don't split it. There's an inbox and people just grab what's coming in. We do have trackers. Me: I just asked to see how performance is assessed.
Can someone hire me without an interview? I can do the job, but I can't handle interviews. 😭 I have experience in Customer Service and Back Office roles, but since I graduated last year, I've found it difficult to apply for jobs. The interview process makes me really anxious, even though I know I can do the work.
A couple of good questions would be to ask what the expectations will be for your first 30 days, and then something around how performance is rated each year
This is a nice one.
Pay attention to their questions and responses for anything that's different from your expectations, including possible red flags. Ask follow up questions about those things.
I like ask what a typical day would look like for the role. Why is the position available. What type of training will you receive during your probationary period. And besides coworkers, what is their favorite part of working for the company. If they struggling to answer that last question, you should probably keep looking.
They usually tell you that in the interview.
I would ask - What is something that you think most new hires are not prepared for ? -what are some of the barriers that someone new to the role had dealt with ? - How has your experience been working with the company? - What pointers do you have for me because you have been in this process for a while ?
