Going for a job interview? Donāt make this common mistake!
When the interviewer asks, āDo you have any questions for us?ā saying āNo, I think Iām goodā could mean missing an opportunity to stand out.
At Tailored Workforce, we want employers to find great people ā and job seekers to feel confident about showing what they can do. š
Here are 3 questions worth preparing before your next interview:
ā
āWhat would you expect me to achieve in the first six months?ā
Shows youāre ready to contribute.
ā
āWhat training will I receive?ā
Shows youāre serious about learning the role.
ā
āWhat opportunities are there to grow within the company?ā
Shows youāre thinking about your future.
š° What about pay?
Absolutely ā you can ask!
In Australia, research the relevant minimum pay rates and award conditions before your interview. If the employer hasnāt explained the salary or hourly rate, ask politely:
āCould you please clarify the pay range and the applicable award or classification for this position?ā
Before you leave: ⨠Thank the interviewer. ⨠Let them know if youāre genuinely interested. ⨠Ask when you can expect to hear back. ⨠Follow up politely if the expected date passes.
Small steps. Better preparation. A stronger impression.
