Alpha Gamma Solutions’ Guide to a Great Interview
Leicester based direct marketing firm, Alpha Gamma Solutions reveal their guide to having a successful interview.
Job interviews can be both stressful and exciting times. Sometimes, job seekers focus so hard on answering the interview questions correctly, that they forget something equally important – to ask the right questions too. Alpha Gamma Solutions believe there are a couple of main reasons why it is important to ask questions at an interview. Firstly, the questions an interviewee asks can confirm their qualifications as a candidate for the position and secondly, the company is being interviewed just as equally as an individual needs to know that the company is right for them too.
According to an article on Forbes.com (2014) there are 3 things that asking the right questions at an interview aim to achieve:
- To make sure the interviewer has no reservations about you
- To demonstrate your interest in the company
- To find out if the company is the right fit
Alpha Gamma Solutions give their recommendations on the right questions to ask at an interview:
What skills and experiences would make an ideal candidate?
A great open-ended question that will have the interviewer put his or her cards on the table and state exactly what the company is looking for. If the interviewer mentions something that hasn’t been covered yet, now is the chance.
Do you have any hesitations about my qualifications?
A gutsy question that will show confidence in skills and abilities.
Do you offer continued training?
This is a great positioning question, showing an interest in expanding one’s knowledge and ultimately growing within the company.
Can you tell me about the team I’ll be working with?
Notice how the question is phrased; it assumes you will get the job. This question also tells you about the people you will interact with on a daily basis, so listen to the answer closely.
What can you tell me about your plans for growth?
This question should be customised for an individual’s particular needs. The answer to the question will offer a good idea of the direction the company is heading in.
