Interview Questions to Avoid

Oftentimes job-seekers forget that interviewing is a two-way street. It's an opportunity for the interviewer to learn more about you and allow you to convince him/her why you would be an excellent selection for the job which you are applying for. It is also an opportunity for the candidate to interview the company as well. This is your career we're talking about and you want to be certain that this company is going to be the right fit for you and your needs.

Recruiters/Hiring Managers EXPECT candidates to ask well-thought out questions in the interview. In fact, as you've read in a previous blog, if you don't ask questions in the interview it will almost certainly work against you in our decision making process and almost certainly have us identify a different candidate to offer the job to. There are however, some questions you should steer away from asking the interviewer.

Here are a list of questions to NEVER ASK in an interview: (http://tinyurl.com/7cqkqd). These questions will also ensure that you will not be invited back for a second interview.
