Ex-Military Candidate's Resources  

One of the most common recommendations when going into an interview is: ask questions. But you would wonder why? Well, it shows interest in the role and the company you are applying to.

At some point, during your interview, consider asking some of the following:

• If I got this role, what would you see as my priorities in the first, for example, three months? (Ask this to your future line manager).
• How does this role fit into the company's longer-term plans? (Ask this to your future line manager).
• How would you define success for this position? (Ask this to your future line manager).
• As an employee, how could I exceed your/the company's expectations? (Ask this to any interviewer).
• What do you like about coming into work here? (Ask this to any interviewer).

Some questions that are better to avoid:

• Do not ask about gossip or rumours you've heard about the company or role.
• Do not ask too much about the interviewer.
• Do not ask if they do background checks.
• Do not ask how quickly you can be promoted.
• Do not ask how soon, after hiring you, you can start applying for other positions in the company.
