Good Interview Questions to Ask

What Interests You about Our Company?

• Enthusiasm and work ethic are two of the most important attributes of a job candidate. Asking a candidate about his motivation for seeking a job at your company forces him to show what he knows about the company. Candidates who care about positions will have researched the company before the interview. If a candidate knows little about the company, he probably did not do background research.

What are Your Career Goals?

• It is important to get an overall picture of the career aspirations of prospective employees. Some workers apply for jobs simply to earn a paycheck, while others have short- and long-term aspirations. Workers who exhibit motivation to advance in a particular career field usually are more enthusiastic and work harder than others. This question also gives the interviewer an opportunity to explain the typical career path and growth prospects of candidates who take the position.

What is Your Biggest Weakness?

• Recruiters read resumes of prospective employees before they call them for interviews. Resumes typically list strengths and accomplishments but usually do not list weaknesses and shortcomings. It is important to find out areas where candidates struggle to assess whether they are right for a position and how weaknesses can be overcome. Weaknesses are not necessarily negative in all circumstances; for instance, the preference to work alone might be a weakness during team projects, but it could be advantageous at other times.

What are Your Passions?

• Sometimes open-ended questions that give candidates great leeway yield the most interesting answers. Learning about a candidate's passions, such as personal interests, career interests and hobbies, helps recruiters to determine whether a candidate will fit into the work culture of the company. It can also help candidates and interviewers connect on a more personal level and lighten the mood of an interview.
