What Questions Do Employers Want to Hear in an Interview? (2)

The right questions to ask

Alan Guinn, managing director and CEO of the Guinn Consultancy Group, works with employers every day. He recommends that recruiters listen for these 10 questions from job applicants to see if they've done their homework and truly want the position:

1. What are some of the ways your company encourages teamwork?

2. We all know how important job satisfaction is to everyone. Is the company committed to promotion from within?

3. I love your published mission and values. How are these reflected in day-to-day life at the company? Can you share some examples?

4. If your son, daughter or a friend were looking for a job, would you recommend working for this company? Why?

5. What do you think distinguishes this company from its competitors, both from a public and employee perspective?

6. How often do you speak with your C-level officers? When you do, what do they normally ask you? Do they ask for your opinion?

7. How does the company demonstrate a sense of pride in it's employees?
