Questions to Ask at a Job Interview

You need to remember it is just as important to interview your future boss, as it is for them to interview you! You want to know whether this company is a place you would want to work, and if the work culture is right for you. However, your main focus will be on picking the right boss. Here are a few questions you should ask:

1. Have you ever been a mentor, or someone on the job? How did it go?

2. Please tell me about the success of one of your team members, and how did you help bring it about?

3. How do you get your team members to work together?

4. Please give some examples of feedback, whether positive or negative, and how did you handle it?

5. What would your employees say your strengths and weaknesses are?

6. What kind of jobs have you had in your life, and how long have you been in this particular position?

7. Have you ever helped anyone achieve their personal goals? How?

8. Do you like to delegate?

9. Outside of monetary compensation, how else do you reward good work?

10. How many people on your staff have been promoted in the past 3 years? What was your part in the promotion?
