Take control of a job interview with the right questions
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 16:58 PM

Take control of a job interview with the right questions Job seekers can take a career test, conduct extensive research on potential employers and still walk into an interview feeling intimidated. However, this does not always have to be the case. Job candidates can transform a one-sided interview into a two-way conversation by asking the right questions.

In a recent U.S. News & World Report article, Hannah Morgan, a provider of no-nonsense career advice, covered a few areas job seekers should be thinking about during an interview. For instance, Morgan advised candidates to think about the people they could be working with very soon, including their future boss and co-workers.

If candidates have the opportunity to meet with their potential boss during an interview, they should consider asking questions about past employees this individual has managed, and what they are doing now. Something else they could ask of their potential boss is what he or she considers to be a "star employee."

In the event that job seekers have a chance to meet with possible co-workers, Morgan advises them to ask these workers about their roles, responsibilities and views on their employer.

One thing job seekers need to remember during an interview is whatever questions they have in mind may be answered during the course of their conversation. This is why Stephanie Daniel, senior vice president of Keystone Associates, a career management company, told Mashable it is important to have back-up questions in mind.
