Bone-Chilling questions for when they know you are the best
Superstars, the most highly sought after candidates, can afford to be picky. Even in today’s economy, the competition for the most talented contributors is brisk. For that reason, superstars can ask prospective employers questions that other candidates would have a hard time getting away with. “Superstars can interview the company with bone-chilling questions to make sure they select the best opportunity offered them,” says Dr. John Sullivan, professor and head of Human Resource Management at San Francisco State University. The following are the types of questions that the most confident candidates routinely ask, according to Dr. Sullivan.
“Even if you aren’t a superstar (yet), it’s important to be skeptical because recruiters and hiring managers, on occasion, make jobs appear better than they really are,” Sullivan says. “You need an accurate job preview, and it takes hard questions to your future manager to get it. The hiring manager’s ability and willingness to answer these tough questions should be a major factor in your decision to accept an offer.”
There’s no reason why you cannot act like a superstar and put some of these questions in your portfolio. Who knows? Maybe if you act like a superstar, they will treat you as one.
