Questions to ask in an Interview
Prepare Smarter for Your Interviews
What questions should you ask in a job interview?
Knowing which questions to ask can make all the difference. Asking your own questions helps you understand the organisation, the role, and what matters most to the hiring manager.
The right questions give you perspective on whether the role is a good fit and demonstrate your proactive interest in the position.
Below are suggested questions to guide your interview preparation and help you gain a deeper understanding of the opportunity before you make your next move.
Example Questions:
How will you gauge my success in this role?
How would I report to you in this role, what is your/their management style?
What are the key objectives you would like to see completed in the next 3 to 6 months?
How would you describe the culture of the organisation?
What are some of the common attributes of your top performers?
What are some of the more difficult challenges I could expect to deal with in this role?
Are there any advancement opportunities available for me in this role, and within what time frame?
How can I most quickly become a strong contributor within the organisation?
What are one or two things that really drive results for the company?
What makes you think I will be successful in this job?
What causes you concern about my candidacy?
What do you like about working here?
Are there any other questions I can answer for you?
We highly recommend going through these questions (and any others you may think are relevant) and making note of your answers. As well as being well prepared and having answers fresh in your mind, the notes will serve as a prompt should you begin to forget any key details or points for discussion during your interview.
