  • perfect for you to ask the interview panel.

  • So, a very warm welcome to this tutorial.

  • That's me there on the right-hand side.

  • My name is Richard McMunn and I am very passionate about helping people to pass their interviews.

  • And I've been doing this for over 20 years now.

  • And in this specific video we're going to focus on 3 smart questions that you can ask

  • in your interview.

  • Thank you very much.

  • OK.

  • Let's get straight into it.

  • So, people say to me: “Richard, should I ask any questions at my interview?”

  • And I sayyes, absolutely you should!”

  • Some people don't.

  • They like to sayNo, it's OK.

  • I don’t have any questions, you've covered everything.”

  • But this is your opportunity to shine.

  • This is your opportunity to show you are a smart, intelligent and caring person.

  • So, the aim of these three questions I'm about to give you are designed to put you ahead

  • of the competition.

  • So, how many questions should you ask?

  • It's my advice that you ask three questions, and these are the questions to ask.

  • So, take notes.

  • Question number one – “What's the first thing you would need me to focus on in this

  • role to help your business grow and develop?”

  • That's a brilliant question!

  • And if you were being interviewed by me and you asked me that question, I'd think this

  • is a smart person and that you care about my organization.

  • So, it's “What's the first thing you would need me to focus on in this role to help your

  • business grow and develop?”

  • Now there are three reasons why this is a great question to ask.

  • Number one - this question shows you are keen to hit the ground running and you are already

  • thinking about the role.

  • Number two - the question shows you care about their organization and you want to make a

  • difference, and every employer, every hiring manager wants staff who care about their organization.

  • Number three - this question gets the interview panel thinking about you within the role and

  • how you can help them.

  • So, “What's the first thing you would need me to focus on?”

  • So, they have to think about you in the role and your skills and qualities that you've

  • demonstrated during the interview.

  • And that can only be a positive thing!

  • Okay.

  • Question number two of questions to ask in your interview.

  • Here we go.

  • Where do you think the company is headed in the next five years?”

  • Now this is a very intelligent question as well, because it serves three main purposes.

  • Here we go.

  • This question shows the interview panel you are a forward-thinking employee who is positive

  • about the future.

  • So, you are thinking ahead which, is a good thing.

  • It also demonstrates you have a keen interest in what the company plans to do in the future.

  • So, you actually care about them.

  • So, it shows you plan on staying with them as well for a few years, which to be honest,

  • is really attractive to virtually all employers and hiring managers.

  • They don't want people coming through their organization who are going to come for a few

  • months and then leave, they what people are going to stay there.

  • And this question certainly demonstrates that.

  • So, “Where do you think the company is headed in the next five years?”

  • Great question.

  • Okay.

  • Question number three: “Who do you consider to be your top competitor and why?”

  • Another smart question and here are the reasons why.

  • So, “Who do you consider to be your top competitor and why?”

  • Now this question shows you have an interest in the performance of their organization,

  • which puts you above the majority of candidates in respect of mindset.

  • So, you're thinking ahead strategically about, you know, the organization's competitors and

  • what you could do to help them.

  • All businesses have competitors, it's a fact, and all staff should be working towards helping

  • the business to outperform the competitor.

  • And that's what you'll demonstrate - the interview panel know that you are aware that they have

  • competitors and you want to help them.

  • Number three - the question shows you are smarter than the rest of the candidates, simply

  • because you care.

  • Now, as I said right at the beginning, I'm very, very passionate about helping people

  • pass their interviews.
