Career specialist shares the essential question to ask at the conclusion of any job interview

Career specialist shares the essential question to ask at the conclusion of any job interview | 212 Careers | Scoop.it

Searching for the perfect job can often feel more like a daunting task, with countless rejections and moments of being left in the dark when responses are scarce. Once you secure an interview, it’s crucial to ensure everything goes smoothly. Sometimes, you think you’ve done well, but then you’re hit with the classic interview closer: “Any questions for us?” You might ask about the expectations for your role in the first three months, or maybe inquire about the salary. However, if you truly want to make a positive impression, there’s a strategic question you should consider asking. When executed correctly, it could significantly boost your chances in advancing your career. In their compilation of interview advice, Monster Jobs highlighted several questions to pose to your interviewer, but one in particular was emphasized. The standout question is: “Do you have any concerns or final questions?” Chantal Bechervaise, an HR specialist who operates TakeItPersonelly.com, advised the job site: “Always, always ask if the person interviewing you has any concerns about any of your abilities to perform the job. “I have had great experiences asking this question, as it makes the interviewer reflect upon the interview on the spot. “Generally they will respond honestly to the question, which provides you one last opportunity to sell yourself.” Should the interviewer express concerns, it is an excellent opportunity to address any uncertainties and illustrate that you are well-suited for the position. An effective response might be: “I know I haven’t had a lot of experience in social media in my work, but I have used Twitter to promote the charity I volunteer with on weekends, and have increased their followers by 20 percent in the last year.” Discussions on Reddit have explored similar questions, with mixed opinions about using the term ‘concern’. On the r/Jobs forum, someone questioned: “Is asking the interviewer, ‘Do you have any concerns about my ability to perform this job?’ acceptable or should I just refrain from asking that question?” While many found it to be a good way to alleviate employer concerns, one Reddit user recommended phrasing it as: “Do you feel my experience and skill set are a good match for the duties of this position?”

With 'quiet cracking' on the rise, what can HR do?

With 'quiet cracking' on the rise, what can HR do? | 212 Careers | Scoop.it
Employee engagement is a persistent and increasingly pressing problem for HR. A recent Gallup study, for instance, found that just 31% of U.S. employees say they are currently engaged at work, a red flag for talent leaders that their workforce may be struggling—and perhaps on the way out. The growing disengagement problem led online learning platform Talent LMS to coin the phrase “quiet cracking.”
