Whenever a company employs your services, you are entering an economic relationship or partnership with that organization. As with any type of “relationship”, both parties will be satisfied as long as it is mutually beneficial for both. Since you are entering into a partnership, it is important that you learn as much as you can about the other party. One way to accomplish this is through asking questions.
Think for a moment about your personal relationships. When they were in the formative stages, did you ask questions? What would your opinion be of someone who never asked you questions about yourself? Chances are good, your impression would be that individual is not too interested in me. If you do not ask questions during the interview, the interviewer may have that same perception of you.
Today we will type up some questions that you should ask in an interview. Save and print these for your portfolio.
