It's always a great idea to prepare questions prior to the interview. Start by reviewing the company's website and other online resources to ensure the questions you are asking are not mundane, or redundant. You want to show them that you care and took the time to research them. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of items you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their company site!
Here are some sample questions:
- 'When would you like to have this position filled?'
- 'What is your favorite part about working at Peets Coffee and Tea?'
- 'What will be my biggest challenge starting out in the role?'
- 'What do you think is the number one quality that a great Peets Coffee and Tea employee has?'
- 'What is the company's primary goal for this position in the next 12 months?'
- 'Is there any part of my resume that I can clarify for you?'
- 'What do you see as the most significant change in the coffee industry over the past three years?'
- "Is there any reason why you would not hire me?"
