Do you have any questions for us?

Do you have any questions for us?

The interview process is two or more persons conversation and now it is your turn to ask.
If something has not been answered, please ask the relevant questions about company future, growth plan, industry challenges, etc.
You should be ready with a set of thoughtful questions which show you
as intelligent, well prepared and curious to understand. Prove yourself to be an interested candidate.
David Melancon (Managing Principal of Ito partnership) says there are three questions far more important for a candidate to ask than what the salary is or what the job requirements are.
1. What qualities will a person in this role need to be successful in your company culture — as an individual and as a worker?
2. What’s the company’s position on education and development, including student-loan reimbursement and tuition assistance?
3. How does the company keep employees excited, innovative, and motivated?
Be ready with a set of thoughtful questions. Do not miss this opportunity to show yourself as a good candidate.
Do's
• Ensure a set of questions for this opportunity while you researched about the company
• This is your chance to ask those questions which have not be answered in the interview
• Ask good questions (2-3) to project you as intelligent and interested candidate
Don'ts
• Don't ask for the sake of asking
• Don't repeat questions, which have been answered
• Don't ask questions related to compensation

Negotiation is an important life skill

We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.

If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.

“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
