✨The Perfect Close✨

✨The Perfect Close✨


An interview is like a blind date. You're sizing up the company, but they're also checking you out. So, ask some questions. Find out if their office is as boring as their accounting department


  • Don't ask a question that has already been covered in the interview.
  • Don't query salary or benefits package unless they ask you.
  • Don’t ask if there’s a policy against drinking the shared milk straight from the carton. 
  • Don’t ask “how did the family enjoy the Mallorca trip in ‘08?” 


DO ASK

  • What do you (the interviewer) think gives this company an edge over its competitors? 
  • What is the work environment like? 
  • Why do you (the interviewer) enjoy working for this company? 
  • What professional opportunities are available to employees in the organization? 
  • How has the company developed over the past few years? 
  • If I was offered this position, what kind of training would be provided? 
  • If I were successful and assuming I proved myself in the position, what would be the progression opportunities for me in a few years time? 
  • What is the next stage of the interview process? 


Closing the interview 💅

If the interviewer offers you the job on the spot and you want it, accept it there and then. If you require further time to think it over, be tactful in saying so and qualify your reasons - try to provide them with a definite date as to when you can provide them with an answer. If this isn’t the job for you, still leave the interviewer with a positive impression. 

Lastly, THANK the interviewer for their time. After the interview, call your consultant to provide feedback on the interview



In the wise words of Sabrina Carpenter - Please, please, please.....reach out if you want some interview practice 💌
