hey everybody Don Georgevich here job
interview tools today I want to talk to
you about closing a job interview so
this is at the end of the interview
could be the first interview second or
third it doesn't matter so much but you
want to close out the interview because
they're going to ask you if you have any
questions for them because the whole
time you've been answering their
questions well they're going to turn it
over to you
and they're going to say do you have any
questions for us yeah you shouldn't have
a blank list of paper with your
questions on it what you should have are
some questions already written out ahead
of time that you plan to ask questions
that are meaningful to you questions
that are going to help you decide
whether you want to work there or not so
don't just ask questions for the sake of
asking questions don't just Google best
questions to ask come up with your own
list of questions that are gonna help
you decide if you want to work there or
not you want to ask that employer
challenging questions that are going to
make them sell you on the position you
know you might ask them questions about
you know what are the first year
accountabilities for this position or
how would you evaluate how do you plan
to evaluate my performance after a year
or you might have read something in the
trade magazines about this company that
where maybe one of their competitors has
a new product you might ask him say you
know hey I read you know so-and-so has
this new product out how is that going
to compete with yours challenge them put
kind of put them off a little bit and
make them go to work and try to sell you
on coming to work for them make them
make them overcome your objections
because your questions should should be
somewhat of an objection or a concern so
make that employer work to overcome your
concerns so that you feel better about
the position the job the location you
know whatever it is now another way to
come up with questions is write some
things down wow you are in the interview
so as you're going through the interview
and they're there answering some of your
questions and
and you're talking to them write down
some little ideas that pop into your
head where you want to know more
information but you know at that time
when the interview just not right the
right time to ask so you want to save
that question for the end of the
interview so you have this little stack
of questions now the closing of the
interview make sure you don't ask them
questions that they've already answered
like you know how many employees do you
have here you know they may have already
told you early on in the interview that
they have 502 employees so if you ask
that question again you know it just
kind of shows that you weren't paying
attention
so ask some questions you need to know
the answer to and don't ask them
questions where they may have already
indirectly answer your questions now the
last the very last question you should
ask and you should always ask this is
when do you plan to make a hiring
decision always want to ask that that
gives you the time that gives you their
time frame so you know what to expect
and then you might follow up with but do
you mind if I follow up with you in a
couple of weeks on this position now
align your follow-up time with their
hiring time frame so if they don't plan
to make a decision for maybe a month
then you might say well do you mind if I
follow up with you in about three weeks
can I give you a call or can I send you
an email obviously they're going to say
yes and then you ask them for their
contact information can I have your best
phone number what's a good phone number
to reach you at or what's your best
email address now if they say you know
we plan to make a hiring decision in
about a week then you might say well do
you mind if I follow up with you in a
couple of days because if they're gonna
make a hiring decision in a week you
definitely want to touch base with them
a couple of days to you know to refresh
them to refresh you in their memory so
that they think about you during this
their hiring decision time
all right does that make sense now if
you want to go farther with questions to
ask
I do have an entire section and the
completing of you answer guide that
gives you a lot of ideas for questions
to ask there's probably like 30
40 different possible questions you
might want to ask an employer I put
those in this guide I really don't have
time to go through them all in this
video but don't ask them all don't ask
your interviewer 30 or 40 questions that
would be the worst thing you could do
only ask them questions that make sense
to you where that answer is important to
you I mean like I said I've got 30 or 40
questions to ask employers in this guide
but they're not all questions that are
going to be right for you to ask they're
not going to be appropriate maybe though
you'll get you know 5 or 10 out of it
but the point here is they're going to
give you ideas they give you give you
better ideas for questions to ask and
and you know what maybe maybe you don't
have any questions to ask but you
probably just don't know what to ask or
there's something that you don't want to
know or you know what maybe you're like
I don't care I just want this job I
don't care I don't want I don't want to
scare them off by asking them questions
I just want this job
so I'm not gonna ask him anything by not
asking them questions it showed it
demonstrates that you were disinterested
in them so it's important that you ask
them questions because that shows you're
interested in them it shows that you are
envisioning yourself working there and
you want to know more details about that
so even if you are desperate and and we
all are I have been - they've been jobs
where I've gone into where it's like I
just want this job no matter what I
don't care I'm gonna take it because I
need it yeah I know I haven't had a job
for six months I'm not gonna rock the
boat
it's the worst thing you can do you
still have to go out there and you have
to push back you have to give them some
resistance and that resistance shows
that you were interested and when
someone weren't there and when they can
see that you are interested that's gonna
make them more interested in you it's
gonna make you look like a more natural
serious and genuine candidate that's how
you go farther in the interview process

the best questions to ask
