You know enough to bring a list of questions to a job interview. When the interviewer asks you, "So, do you have any questions for me?" The last thing you want to say is "No." But that could be the best option if you"re at a loss for words, because some interview questions are better left unasked.
你十分清楚要帶一份問(wèn)題列表到面試現(xiàn)場(chǎng)去。當(dāng)面試官說(shuō)："那么，你有什么問(wèn)題問(wèn)我嗎？"你最不想說(shuō)的回答就是"沒(méi)有"。但是，如果你真不知道說(shuō)什么好的話，這也可能是最好的選擇。因?yàn)橛幸恍﹩?wèn)題最好不要問(wèn)。
Here are 10 highly unsuitable interview questions that should never make an appearance, unless you don"t want the job:
This was a reasonable interview question in 1950 or in 1980, before the Internet existed. Today, it"s your job to research any company you"re interviewing with before setting foot in the door. We need to show up for a job interview knowing what the employer does, who its competitors are, and which of its accomplishments (or challenges) have made the news lately.
It is amazing how many job candidates ask this question, which provokes alarm on the part of the interviewer, instead of the more general, "Can you please tell me a little about your selection process, from this point on?" Lots of people have credit issues that cause them worry during a job search, or aren"t sure how solid their references from a previousjob might be. If you"re invited for a second interview, you can broach any sensitive topics from your past then. Asking "Will you do a background check?" makes you look like a person with something to hide.
Companies fear underpaying people almost as much as they fear overpaying them, because a person who"s underpaid vis-a-vis his counterparts in the job market is a person with one eye on the career sites. Instead of asking about your first raise before you"ve got the job, you can ask (at a second interview) "Does your organization do a conventional one-year performance and salary review?"
A job search requires quick thinking about straight talk, and if a job is far below your abilities, you"re better off saying so than beating around the bush with this question. You don"t have to take yourself out of the running; you can say, "The job sounds interesting, but frankly I was earning 30% more and supervising people in my last job. Could you help me understand the career path for this role?" That"s the cue for the interviewer, if he or she is on the ball, to highlight another job opening that might exist.
