Questions you could ask at a job interview (continued)

RRHH Digital. •How many people work in this building / department? This is a great way to see if you will be working in a small environment with few employees or in a larger company. Working for either sized companies often has its advantages or disadvantages. In small companies you will often get more responsibility and recognition for your work, with clearer chances for promotion. Working in larger companies can mean that there’s a diverse range of departments, with many colleagues but few chances for promotion. You should think which option will suit you the best but sometimes we have no choice.

•Why is this job available? It may be that the company is expanding and needs new employees in this role. It could be that this job is very stressful and the previous person left. If it is a graduate position this question will be, of course, irrelevant.

•Are there any chances for progression in this job? You might discover that this is a great opportunity for progression or it might be a job with little or no chance of getting that promotion. If it seems like the latter you will always need work experience of 1 – 2 years when applying for future positions, with other potential employers.

•What are some of the challenges of this job? Again, this a great chance for you to really find out what this job entails.
