Get that job: 5 questions you should avoid during a job interview

When it comes to job interviews, there is
nothing worse than having no question to ask as a job applicant at the
end of the interview.

The hiring manager believes you definitely
want to know something about the company and the job you apply for and
that’s why you’re to ask some questions.

However, asking wrong questions could
cripple your chances of getting the job. In fact, asking inappropriate
questions in a job interview is worse than asking nothing at all.

We have already covered some brilliant questions you can ask
when the hiring manager throws the opportunity at you, but there are
some questions you should never ask in a job interview. Check them out.

1.      What does your company do?

 If you don’t know what the company does, why did you apply?

Seriously? Do you think asking a question like
this will make the hiring manager gets excited to talk about the
company or what? Questions like this only send make the employers eyes
rolling.

What this means to a lot of employer is that
you’re not brilliant enough to ask a meaningful question, and more
importantly, you failed to do your research about the company before the
interview.

2.      How well did I do?

You want to know how well the interview went
and you expect the hiring manager to immediately tell you how well you
performed. Nah, it’s not done. That question as a matter of fact sounds
dumb and no matter how much rapport you have with the interview, don’t
ever ask this question.

Instead of asking a questions that’ll
make you look stupid in front of your prospective employers, ask them
when you can expect to hear from them and send a follow-up email,
thanking them for their time.

3.      Did I get the job?

                                     Don’t ever ask your interviewers i you get the job or not.

This is you being impatient. This question
makes you appear very desperate to the hiring managers. Rather than
pushing the employers to determine a matter they’ve not decided on, it’s
better to ask about the next step in the hiring process. For instance,
you can ask if the organization conducts only one or multiple interviews
in their recruitment process. Their response to this will give you an
idea on whether you’ll have a second chance or not.

4.      How long would I wait to get promoted

You’re jumping the gun. Asking a question like
this paints an impression that you’re overhasty and not so interested
in the position you applied for and you can’t wait to have a better
position. You’ll sound better if your question comes like this: “What
are the opportunities for growth at this company?

5.      What type of job benefits does this company offer?

Bringing up a question like this also shows
you’re hasty and you’re only concerned about the benefits you’ll gain
from the company not the value you want to offer. If you have to ask
this question, wait till you are offered the job before asking for the
benefits that comes with it.
