Is That the Best Question to Ask?


Any job coach will tell you it is a good idea to ask questions during your interview.  Questions that show you're interested in the position or to genuinely find out more pertinent information are great.

Lately, job applicants have asked me "Why are you interested in me?"  or "Why do you think my qualifications meet the needs of your company?"  Those are good questions if you are strongly qualified for the job and the interview is going well.

These questions can also draw attention to areas you are lacking and have your resume placed in the reject pile.   When faced with a simular situation it is better to ask about the ideal job candidate.  Then give examples of qualifications that may not be easy to pick up from your resume.
