Resonse to interview articles

The two articles that I read were "It's your turn: What to ask in an interview" and "The second interview"

The first article describes how an "interviewee" should always have questions for the interviewer. Having questions shows that you are interested in the job, and gives you a chance to show how knowledgeable you are about the position that you are applying for, the company, or the industry. This article taught me that the questions that you ask in the interview must be taylored to the interviewer. For instance, you would ask a potential future co-worker what a typical day at the office is like or the most challenging part of their job. "How would you describe your ideal candidate," would be a question more appropriate for the hiring manager or your future boss.

The second article that I read talked about the second interview and how it will be different from the first. The second interview usually takes longer and focuses more on getting to know the candidates personality. Something that I learned was that the second interview is usually conducted with several candidates to speed the process, and that you must make yourself stand out among the other potential new hires. If in the rare case you get a job offer on the second interview, it is important to tell the hiring manager that you need time to think about your decision so that you sound like a person who does not rush to conclusions.
