As much as common sense believes that a job interview should only have questions from the recruiter, this is not the reality. In a selection process, the interviewer expects candidates to also ask questions during the conversation, and you need to be prepared and have a lot of questions to ask the recruiter.
This happens because, in a job, there is an exchange of resources and services. While you offer your skills and knowledge, companies need those skills and offer salaries and benefits for your service. Therefore, job interviews are times when both you and the company have the chance to get to know the other side involved. In the same way that the company needs to know you better, you should also try to find out more about the place where you can work. This occurs through prior research, informal conversations, and job interview, where you can ask direct questions to representatives and employees of the organization. being proactive and showing curiosity sends a great message to the Human Resources professional. He will understand that you are really interested in the vacancy, that you paid attention to all the previous steps, that you have a critical profile and that you want to know all the details of the potential new job.
You realized that asking questions in the interview only brings benefits, right? In reality, you also need to be careful and ask basic questions The first is to make sure you're not asking too basic questions that betray your unpreparedness. For example, knowing which area and sector the company operates in is a starting point in the selection process, something you need to know before applying for the job. So, this is a question that can complicate your application.
Be careful not to show a lack of attention. Likewise, pay close attention to every step so you don't ask questions that have already been answered. If you ask about something that was discussed during the interview itself, the situation becomes even more delicate, as the recruiter will understand that you were not paying attention to the conversation. It does not take the spotlight away from the recruiter As much as the interview process is mutual, that is, you have to know the vacancy and the company as much as the company has to know you, the protagonist still the recruiter. Naturally, he's going to ask more questions than you in the conversation, after all, he's the one interviewing you. So keep in mind that you will be answering more than asking. Know when to ask your questions Also, to avoid uncomfortable situations and not invert the dynamics of the process, leave your questions for the end of the conversation. There's nothing wrong with asking questions mid-chat, but only ask questions that fit with the topic at hand and won't take the recruiter out of control. Naturally, he should open up that space for questions at the end of the interview, so you can shine and impress with your strategic questions.
