Prepare For Success
In simple terms, every job is a product of the
company and definitely NOT the other way
around!
As a job seeker, you’re probably good at asking
‘job’ questions:
• y ‘What responsibility will I have?’
• y ‘What skills development and training
will I get?’
• y ‘What is my chance for career
development?’
• y ‘What hours will I work?’
• y ‘How much paid time off do I get?’
And so on…
However, how many ‘employer’ or ‘company’
questions are on your list?
• y ‘As far as your employees are concerned,
what does good look like?’
• y ‘What makes you proudest when you
think about working for this company?’
• y ‘How would you define trusting your employees/colleagues?’
• y ‘Where does the balance lie between following the rules and showing initiative?’
• y ‘Do you think you need to be brave to work here?’
• y ‘Why did you (the company) last promote/sack an employee?’
These can be difficult questions to ask. We know it can sometimes
feel difficult to ask questions that appear to be passing a
judgement on the listener. But they are important questions.
These are the sort of questions that will give you the
beginnings of a real insight into exactly what makes the
business tick, and (remember!) you have every right to ask
them.
If you choose to work there, you’ll be a valuable asset.
The company will be lucky to employ you and you have an
obligation to yourself to make the right decision.
