What career development opportunities are available with your company?

[Joywtome231]

This question signals that you are thinking long-term and want a position that offers you the chance to progress - while matching your aspirations. The best employers recognise talent and provide mentoring, training and personal development to retain their talent. You need to find out if this is one of them.

What challenges is the company facing?

If you’ve done your research before the interview you’ll have a general idea of possible vietnam phone number resource problems. Has the employer announced any redundancies in the last five years? Do they operate in a buoyant market? How do they respond to changes in the economic climate? How have they adapted to changes brought about by technology? Are they profitable? If your current employer is unstable or you experienced redundancy in a recent job you need stability in your next role so the answers to these questions are especially important.

Why do you work for this company?

This is one of my favourite interview questions. As eager as you are to get this job you also need to be confident that your potential employer’s values reflect your own as closely as possible. If a toxic company culture is the reason for you changing jobs, don't swap your present environment for one that is equally as bad. If the hiring manager’s answer is anything less than positive (and authentic) you need to reassess the opportunity. For further insight, if the response is vague or evasive ask the interviewer to identify the company’s core values.
