3 Questions To Ask During A Job Interview 

Not asking questions during a job interview just might make you look distracted, or even worse, clueless, and for sure it will make the job interviewer consider that you lack interest towards that particular position. However, it's really important that you should ask the right questions at the right time.

In this post, as the title of this post suggests it, I will tell you 3 questions that you should ask during a job interview. Before that though, I want to clarify a few aspects.

• During a job interview, you should ask questions only when you need a clarification over a certain aspect;
• During a job interview you must only ask questions that have a certain weight, regarding the company or the position you're applying for. In other words, don't ask unrelated questions;
• Save YOUR OWN questions for the end of the interview, and once the interviewer has finished their part, ask for permission to ask your questions

Now, here are 3 questions that you should ask during a job interview.

1. How would you define the best candidate for this position?

Obviously, you should ask it at the end of the interview, so the interviewer's answer will help you make an idea how far or close you are to the position you're aiming to get. This question will give you the possibility to polish your image in the eyes of the interviewer, to make yourself shinier. However, it's a bold question, it will actually put your interviewer to work and they might not like that. You should only ask this question if you see that the interviewer has an open personality. After the interviewer's answer is complete, it's your chance to grab some parts of the answer (actually it's quite important to do that) and underline the fact that you have most of the qualities that the interviewer has just mentioned.

2. What training program does the company have for a person like me, applying for this position?

This question will make you look even more interested. However, it will make you look a bit insecure or worried that you might not have what it takes to occupy that certain position. So, you have to bring a bit of a strengthening argument to the question, saying that you're asking this question because you want to be 100% valuable for the company.

3. What activity sector of your company could use improvement?

This is the question that should be the ace up your sleeve. Of course, you should already know all the possible answers that the interviewer could give you, and have a couple of solution of improvement ready to put on the table. If you can pull this off, not only that you prove that you're interested on working there, you also prove that you will be a valuable asset to the company. Therefore, if they won't give you the job right away, you'll be pretty darn close to it.

Important Tip:

Asking the interviewer about the salary is a double-edged question. Some say you should never bring it up, some say that it should be one of the questions that you must definitely ask. First of all, it could make the interviewer think that your only interest is money, you don't really care about the company, and you haven't done your homework properly. On the other hand, if you ask this question with confidence, it will look that you really mean business, that you value your own working capacities, and this may enable your interviewer to value you more. In the end, it's up to you to decide whether you ask this or not.
