Applied for a medical office and they said “we have to describe stuff in detail to patients over the phone so we want you to tell us how to make a pb & j sandwich as if they’ve never done it before”
I asked the woman interviewing me, "Why did you like working for this part of the company?" and "What made you want to stick around and become the manager of this area?" She was impressed. She said that no one had ever asked her that before and it made her think. And I did get a job offer.
My go to every time is “what can I do better in future interviews?” Then I usually sit there and listen to them tell me what they like or dislike about what I told them in the interview, posture in the interview, how well I listened to them and responded appropriately. It’s almost always gotten the response “wow, I’ve never been asked this before”
In most interviews, I always state that I love constructive criticism and ask this question as the final question. “As I previously stated, I love to proactively evolve in any areas needing attention. With that being said is there any area mentioned in this interview you feel I lack, for this position, and how do you feel I may improve?” This question always leaves me with a better understanding if they feel I’m a good fight and can also give me a second chance to revive myself during the interview.
@@chandragautam2051 that’s always the question that locks in my interviews. It just landed me a position as a domestic violence shelter supervisor. And I’ve never had experience in the field. 🤷🏻♀️
ehhh, i would refrain from a question like this.. maybe the way you say it, comes off ok, but this can easily be taken like you arent confident in yourself.
@@nephalm5357 I got the job because I displayed that I wasn’t cocky and thought I knew it all. 😂 Every time I’ve used that question it has always impressed my interviewer. It also shows that I am open to constructive criticism. I worked for a staffing agency and had a train some of my applicants on how to interview and also produce a great résumé. I guess some just wouldn’t know how to word it correctly enough to not come off insecure in their skills. But thank you 🙏🏼
Good questions, all. But the only caveat I would raise for jobseekers is to make sure that these questions haven't already been answered in the job description. Otherwise you, the candidate, may come off as if you didn't really do your research.
I saw the entire video but has question don't you think if we ask questions like Why this position is available and What skills are needed to master the job? they might show good impression they could go saying have not read the job description what is needed for the position

“Is there room for growth?”

This question will give your interviewer sense that you lacking self confidence. Not very smart

Very rich lesson
I love questions 4 and 5
i wudnt recom, ques. #5 bcz the interviewer might say "i'm the one doing the interview around here, do u mind!
Your first 5 questions are misleading, it lead for disqualify. if ask for job role, it means u don't know why are u here.
Only last question is good
Stupid qyestions lead to disqualificxatin
