Questions Candidates Should Ask in an Interview

By Marty Nemko

• What are you most hoping to find in the person you hire? What else?
• What important things will you want me to work on in the first few weeks on the job?
• Who would I be reporting to? What sort of person gets along best with her?

Ask the previous questions early in the interview--the answers can help you to craft answers to subsequent questions.*

• What are the best and worst things about working here?
• Where do *you* want to be in six months?
• Do you think I could do this job well?
