I failed to ask questions in the interviews I had...

I look for body language when conducting an interview it's easy to see if the person is comfortable and being honest by the way they are talking and how they are setting etc.... As far as asking questions during an interview I haven't been on that side of the table in awhile but questions will show you are eager to work for the company as long as they are questions that the answers will be a benefit to both you and the company coming out and asking about time-off and over-time pay and things like that could be a turn-off. It would be for me anyway. I wouldn't have a problem with someone verifying important information but clutter questions or questions that scream they really aren't going to show up even if hired really gets to me. Best of luck getting a job. =)

When I undergo an interview, I usually just let the interviewer question me. After all, I am the one under scrutiny. I did not realize up until I stumbled on your discussion, that you indeed need to ask questions to the interviewer. I fail to see the logic, why? Anyhow, I got the job that I applied for. I've been employed here at my job for 3 years now. I guess that was just plain luck or something. Good luck on your job hunting my friend!

That a girl! Learn as you go. I bet in your next interview you will slam them with all the right questions. I would sound interested in the job. I usually get nervous and make some mistake. You should read up on the do's and don'ts before you go and that way you are sure you are on the right track.

It is great that you have learned from your mistake. The fact that you bothered to research how to improve your interview technique proves that you would make a very conscientious employee and I wish you all the luck in getting your dream job. I was reluctant to ask questions during interviews when I was younger but now I have learned that it is your right to ask about the job, salary etc. Good luck!

I don't remember asking questions during my interview. I just answered the interviewer's questions as honestly as i can. I guess, what i asked though, after the interviewer told me that i was hired is " When will i be reporting ? "

Asking relevant questions at an interview goes to impress the person doing the interview. If you do some research about the company and discus with the interviewer it will help you to score points with him. It will also give you an idea about the company and how they operate. Hope this helps!Good Luck With your next interview :-)

Over a 30 year period I have interviewed hundreds of prospective applicants for jobs and can say categorically that you should only ask a question if there is something that needs to be asked or clarified. I do not subscribe to the theory that the applicant appears more enthusiastic/intelligent/hungrier for the job etc etc if they ask a question. Good interviews can work like a conversation, so it is OK to ask about essential detail in a process, but you ought to display an understanding that there IS a process in the first place. Your response to the questions asked should tell the interviewer what they need to know. You have about 40 minutes to convince someone that you have what they are looking for. Feed the interviewer with "hooks" on which he can hang the next question. Never say that you know about something when you don't! They are not looking to catch you out. Remember to tell them about you. So many interviewees say "we did this" etc. But you are the one being interviewed. Try the STAR method: The STAR method is :- S – Situation, background set the scene T – Task or Target, specifics of what's required, when, where, who A – Action, what you did, skills used, behaviours, characteristics R – Result – Outcome, what happened View it like a funnel. You pour the generalities in and distil from it all those little drops of pure gold that will impress the interviewer. Finally be honest, engage your brain before your mouth and remember that you only have one shot at making a first impression. Good lluck.

Hi marapplestiffy, I got my job immediately after my post graduation. Of course I had to face an interview board but I was never meant to ask the expert any question as they were there to question me and test my ability. One thing I remembered is that I did not go nervous in front of the panel of expert. If I saw some questions really difficult I promptly said 'sorry'.

I think some genuine question you must ask to the interviewer and that must be related to the organisation. It shows your interest in the job and also in organisation. This is good and considerable and also shows that you are curious to know more about the company where you are going to work.

hi, actually the most question they've ask is "why should we hire you?" and that question i always prepare before the day of my interview,and also the guts you have,you should always be confident to you answer in every question.

Hi,marapplestiffy. I'm sorry to hear that you failed in your interview,but it's ok ,the better one is waitting for you . When i was looking for job,i did't ask questions,the interviewer asked me several questions,they are about whether i can handle the job,or the similar things I have done before,so just be easy,answer the questions honestly,you will get your job. Wish you goo luck,waitting for your good news.
