Interview Technique

[emmelinemay]

Ok, so once I get a job interview, I seem to do pretty well. I read all about the company on their website beforehand where possible, and I'm smiley and bubbly and professional. I think carefully about their questions and answer them with a mixture of honesty and I'M REALLYGOODness.

I generally get pretty good feedback from interviews, but I'm not actually getting any jobs. I think one of the places I fall down on is asking questions.

They always ask you if you have any questions about the company or the role, and my mind just goes BLANK. I can never think of any good questions to ask.

So. What are good questions to ask? What should I avoid asking?

I ask about a typical working day too, also if you ask what the company atmosphere is like it lets them show off that they are very friendly and nice.

Once I had someone tell me that their company was great....

'We are pretty blokey here, we talk about football and women, we also usally all go drinking with each other. It's great!'

I think that my face went into spasms of disgust here was a contributing factor to me not getting that job. :)

He he he, I probably would've cried and run out of the room right then!
