3 Important Questions Senior-Level Job Interviewees Should Ask
Everyone wants to make a good impression in an interview. You want to sell yourself...without looking like you’re trying to sell yourself. Keep in mind, though, your potential employer doesn’t need to ask all the questions - there are many questions that a senior-level interviewee can also ask to determine whether the position is right for them. If you’re a healthcare professional considering a new role, it’s possible, even likely, that you’ve been in the same role, working with the same company for quite some time. By asking questions like the ones listed below, you’re setting yourself up for success before the first day of your new job even begins. After all, it’s just as important that the position suits the applicant as well as the applicant suits the position.
What are the most important qualities the organisation is looking for in this role?
The answer the interviewer gives provides you with valuable information as to what skills the organisation is looking for overall, and when moving forward in that particular position. If successful, you can use this to your advantage when your employment begins. These qualities may include time management, drive, hard-working, likeability and ambition.
I have worked in senior-level positions in the past. How can my skill set provide value to the organisation and help the company to reach its goals?
An important question to ask your interviewer, as assessing company goals can determine the direction in which the organisation is travelling in both the short and long term. It also provides an opportunity for you to speak about your past employment experiences and how they can benefit the organisation.
What brought you into this organisation and what is the most enjoyable aspect of your position?
Asking your interviewer directly how they feel about the organisation they are employed by is an easy way to gauge how well the business operates. It also provides insight into the culture of the workplace and can be an endearing question to the interviewer – you want them to like you!
Overall, an interview should be less like an interrogation and more like a conversation. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially when the information you’re seeking is not provided.
