When you're on the hot seat for a job interview, there is a good chance that your interviewer at one point you walk the "hot potato" and you ask, "Any questions?" . When it is your turn, you'll want to take the opportunity to show that you have done your homework and make it clear that you are ready to be hired. But it is vital that you pay as much attention to what you are asking, the same that you put in answering questions. This is because your questions can reflect your knowledge of the company, your work ethic, the level of professionalism and interest in the role. "In the first interview, you'll want to be sure to ask the right questions . Ask about the job and the company , do not ask questions that can only be useful to you and give you the impression that you will play for the team or you will not be willing to give 100%, "says Amy Hoover, chairman of the working group Talent Zoo at Business Insider. "The sole purpose of the interview is to determine if you are the right person for the company and if the company is right for you ," he says. "All other issues and concerns should be addressed during the negotiations that follow the labor supply."
Here are 23 questions that it would be good to avoid during the first job interview, as they may do more harm than good:
1. 'What does your company?' Questions like this will make you seem unprepared. To avoid this, never ask anything that you can easily reply with a Google search.
2. 'How it will amount my salary?' Forget the money talk. "Applicants must walk a fine line between collecting information about the company and assume they're going to get that job," said Jesse Siegal, a delegate administrator of the search for The Execu | Search Group , to Business Insider. Ask the money too early in the selection process makes you look arrogant and rude.
3. 'What are the hours? Make this question betrays a mentality of the stamp card . It is best to move on to details like this once you have the job in hand.
4. 'When can I go on vacation?' Schedule your free time before you've even got the job is the message that you are not really involved in the work.
5. 'I will have an expense report?' There's really no reason to ask the interview. Moreover, it sends the wrong message.
6. 'When will I be considered for a promotion?' Concentrate first on the work you have in hand.
7. 'What happens if I do not get along with my boss or colleagues?' The interviewer may ask if you have had problems with their colleagues in the past - and might even assume that it is difficult to work with you.
8. ' What are the benefits?' It's better to keep this question by the end of the process, when it is clear that you will receive a job offer. "Companies often publish information about their benefits on their websites to attract candidates, so it may be possible to find this information without asking during an" interview, says Siegal.
9. 'When can I have a raise?' This might make the interviewer think that money is the only thing that interests you.
10. 'Can I arrive early or leave late as long to finish my work?' Do not try to make changes to the program before they will be offered the job.
11. 'E' married / a? Has got children?' Never do any personal questions to the interviewer.
12. 'I will have to work late?' This is even more indicative for the interviewers simply ask for their working hours, as it will be almost exclusively perceived as refusing to do what it takes to do the job well.
13. 'Check the company account?' Those who are looking for work should always assume that the potential new leaders will find and display their social-media profiles. "Ask if employers will verify whether or not social profiles really does sound the alarm bells for the company , which then will wonder whether that candidate could represent a threat to the company's image," said Siegal.
14. 'What is the employee discount?' "Demand and request the benefit is so 'me, me io'- a feature that certainly does not play in your favor," he told Business Insider the etiquette expert and civilizations Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, author of " Do not Burp in the Boardroom ".
15. 'Check your email or using the Internet?' This question will trigger the alarm - something you definitely do not want to happen during the interview.
16. 'Check your past employees?' Although this might make the interviewer suspicious.
17. 'I will have my own office?' Does it really matter?
18. 'I can make personal calls during the day?' This says that you are not 100% focused on your work.
19. 'I heard this rumor appropriate Administrator Delegate. It's true?' You should never pull out gossip in a job interview. It is extremely unprofessional.
20. 'What can lead to the employment contract? It is not a good idea to bring the interviewer to think of one of your hypothetical layoff before they have hired you.
" Do not ask questions can be just as wrong , or worse, do terrible questions," says Deborah Shane , author of books on careers, speaker and media consultant. "It can reveal a lot about your communication skills, your personality and your self-confidence - and can leave the interviewer with a bad impression of you ."
