What questions do you have for me?
It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the school's website and other online resources to ensure your questions are not mundane or redundant. 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 site!
"A few questions come to mind. What's the next educational technique your school is looking to tackle? Also, what is the next step in your interviewing process?"
Here are some sample questions:
- When would you like to have this position filled?
- How long has this role been vacant?
- Is this a replacement search or a newly created role?
- What is your favorite part of working here?
- What is the school board's primary goal for this position in the next 12 months?
- Is there anything from my background and experience I can clarify for you?
- What do you see as the most significant change in this industry over the past three years?
- Is there any reason you would not hire me?
"Thank you for asking - I do have a few questions. What is top of mind when it comes to filling this role? Also, what types of career growth opportunities would follow this position? And lastly, do you have internal candidates also interviewing for this position?"
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
