  • 14. What concerns do you have about working in this position or for this organization?

      How to Answer

      Keep your concerns light. The interviewer needs to know if there is anything on which you need clarification. Always have a question or two prepared for the end of your interview and make sure they are insightful, rather than surface thoughts.

      Concerns could include:

      - What was the biggest struggle for the previous person in this role?
      - What do you expect to be the biggest hurdle for me, if hired?
      - What do you expect to be the biggest challenge for the company this year?

      Manager

      Marketing

      "It is not a concern but more of an inquiry. Could you share with me the average marketing budget that your clients are working with?"

      "My concern is how fast can I get my hands on the work and the time required. Also dealing with different people in the organisation may take time. Before I start, I will ascertain the real issue within the team and what needs to be done. If this is related to a backlog, then we can establish a plan to clear off the volume. But if this is due to headcount capacity or turnover, then this issue needs to be discussed with Management to see if we can get some additional support temporarily."
