5 Questions You Should Never Ask in a Job Interview
Here are 5 questions that can make a bad impression on your interviewer, scuttling your chances for getting the job.
1. "When will I be promoted?:This is one of the most common questions that applicants come up with, and it should be avoided. Instead of asking when the promotion will occur, "a better approach is to ask what you would need to do to get a promotion".
2. "What's the salary for this position?"
the first interview is more about selling yourself to the interviewer, and that questions about salary and benefits should really wait until a later interview.
3. "When can I expect a raise?"
Talking about compensation can be difficult, but asking about raises is not the way to go about it.It makes more sense to ask about the process to follow or what can be done to work up to higher compensation level. Talking about "expecting" a raise,"shows a person is out of touch with reality."
4. "What sort of flextime options do you have?"
This kind of question can make it sound like you're interested in getting out of the office as much as possible.
5. Any question that shows you haven't been listening.
You are Interviewed for a position that is 60 miles fromyour home. "At the end of the interview, you ask if you would be able to work from home,"
With the economy the way it is, employers are much more choosy and picky. Knowing the questions to avoid in an interview can help you stand out -- in a good way.
