benefit information is once a real, firm offer has been placed on the table. You should refrain from bringing this topic up prematurely.
Take the time to learn more about the company and the position that the company is looking to fill. In the end, money is not everything, and is definitely
not what you should be obsessing about before you have even fully proven
yourself to the company that you are interviewing with. Career satisfaction
comes in a variety of different forms, so focus on joining a collaborative team
environment with plenty of opportunity for growth rather than worrying about
the benefits package. During the interview process, you should focus and
concentrate on the things that really matter - Not compensation.
There are a number of other questions that should be avoided during the initial
job interviewing process. The following is a list of questions in addition to "What
is my salary?" that you should avoid at all costs when interviewing with a
potential employer.
- How long does it take to be promoted? - While it may be fruitful to ask about
advancement within the company, it is more important that you focus on the
job that you are actually interviewing for.
- When will I be able to take a vacation? - If you are already asking this question
at the interview, then you are already thinking about taking time off, and this
does not look good to the employer.
- Will I be required to work overtime? - Asking about the hours that you will
work says that you are the type of person who likes to watch the clock, and this
is not something that a hiring manager is going to want to look for.
- What kinds of employee activities are held? - This question can be a real
interview killer. It tells the interviewer that you are more interested in the
company activities than in working hard and moving up within the company.
Wait until you are hired before you begin to ask questions like this.
- What can I use my company computer for? Even though many employees use
their computers for purposes other than for company work, you should never
bring this up during an interview. This shows both a lack of maturity, and a lack
of business sense as well.
- Will I be able to work from home? - While this may appear to be a good
question, new employees need to come to understand the dynamics and the
politics of the office before they should even begin to think about working at
home. New employees cannot learn anything about the tempo, the faces, the
politics and the dynamics of the company if they are working at home. The
hiring manager is going to be looking for someone who will be right there all
the time, both working and soaking up the dynamics of the office in order to
become more successful and to make the company more successful as well.
- While many of these questions may seem naïve, and when you see them in
print you may wonder why anyone would ever think to ask them, all of these
questions have been asked through numerous job interviews in the past. So
there are people out there who are naïve enough to ask these questions in
job interviews - And many of them do not understand why they did not land
the job after the fact.
Not only is it important to know what questions not to ask, it is also important to
have a small list of questions that you SHOULD ask, so that you can be prepared
when the person interviewing you asks "Is there anything that you want to ask
me?" The only thing worse than asking an interview killer of a question, is simply
saying "No".
