hey everybody Don Georgevich here I
hope you are well if you have a job
interview coming up I am going to cover
with you some questions that you should
not ask an employer it's a good idea to
ask questions in a job interview because
it shows that you're interested in the
job but there's also some questions that
are taboo questions and when you ask
them well you kind of don't remain the
candidate for very long and you end up
putting your foot in your mouth and you
blow the interview I think all these
questions that I'm gonna cover with you
they really demonstrate poor judgment
now the type of questions that you don't
want to ask are all the me type
questions and what I mean by that is
what's this gonna do for me when you ask
the me type questions these are
questions that appear to put your needs
before those of the employer the best
interview questions focus on what the
applicant can do for the company not
what the company can do for the
applicant so before you ask any question
ask yourself it's this Emmy tech
question so let's look at some me type
questions do I get my own office I don't
think that's a very appropriate question
to ask at all again it's a me question
what's in it for me do I get my own
office don't ask it bad
it's job sharing a possibility so that's
asking can i split my responsibilities
with someone else and what's gonna go
through the employers mind is that
you're a slacker that you want to work
the less than somebody else and you want
to push your responsibilities on someone
else and you don't want to take
responsibility for your work that's what
that's asking so bad question don't ask
it next one can I tell it commute it
means can I work from home again a me
question I want I want to work from the
comfort of my own home I want to get up
late and I want to get on the computer
and I want to do a little bit of work
for you and then I want
the rest of the day off or whatever it
is that's what's gonna go through their
mind telecommuting is really a privilege
that means that company really trusts
you to go home and perform work for them
I mean maybe you had some reasons why
you need to telecommute maybe you need
to take care of a child or a sick one or
something like that
but that's not the company's
responsibility they want you there in
the office performing work for them if
telecommuting is a requirement for you
then that's a different story but this
should not be a question that you bring
up unless unless it's an absolute
requirement can it get paid with a check
instead of direct deposit again a meet
type question you're asking how you're
going to get paid before they've even
offered you the job believe it or not
people ask this question it's stupid
don't ask it don't will you monitor my
social networking profiles and you know
what's going through the mind right now
um no we're not because we're not going
to hire you again am ii question you're
basically saying are you going to spy on
me are you going to spy on my personal
life
not the type of question you want to
bring up in the interview it doesn't
help you qualify them as a place that
you want to be working does it the next
one here I won't have to work with
someone with less education than me that
means I don't want my boss to have less
education than me what's it really
matter whether they have more or less
education than you do you have some kind
of chip on your shoulder but you can't
work for somebody unless they're smarter
or they have more education the Job
Description mentions weekend work we
mean by that if weekend work was a
concern for you and it was in the job
description you probably shouldn't have
applied to it in this case this one can
be a fair question under certain
circumstances but mostly it's not the
best question to ask and you can do
better anything related to salary and
benefits I think are fair game but you
have to ask them the
time so if you sit down in the interview
and one of your first questions is
what's the salary for this position then
it's not a good question to ask at the
time but the way to ask this question
and there is a right time to do it and
it's as soon as I call you when they
reach out and they call you up on the
phone and they're like hey Don
we're so and so from ABC company would
you be interested in coming in for an
interview at that time I'll ask them a
few questions about the job and then
we'll ask them has a salary range been
determined for this position and that's
a nice way of saying how much does the
job pay but I phrased it in a way that
says has a salary range been determined
for the job mecklen how soon do you
promote employees again a me type
question you're asking for more money
more benefits before you even have the
job what kind of message are you sending
the employer by asking that question
does that really help you qualify them
as a place you want to work not at all
it's a me type question avoid it
excellent can I arrive late and leave
early as long as I make up the time
another neat question what are you
really saying when you ask that question
you're telling them that you might have
a hard time getting your hours in for
whatever reason not the kind of person I
want to hire I'm not interested in
interviewing or entertaining offers from
somebody who's already telling me that
they want to leave early or come in late
not the kind of games that I want to
play with an employee so I would
discount them right off the bat before
you ask any question what is it that you
want here what answer needs to come out
of their mouths to help you make a
decision about whether you want to be
here not if you don't know if you're
just fishing and you're just asking
questions to ask questions when you're
asking the wrong questions I urge you to
stay away from those I've got another
video out here which talks about twelve
great questions that you can ask an
employer that is
to show them how interested that you are
and I'm gonna cue that one up for you
right after this one
in closing only ask questions that are
going to help you make a decision about
whether this is the place that is right
for you ask them qualifying questions
and that's what they're doing to you too
they're asking you qualifying questions
to see if you're the right kind of
person front of them and you need to do
the same that's all I have for you today
