去面試總是被狂拷問？那試試反問面試官這 5 個問題
大概世界上最恐怖的事情之一就是去「工作面試」吧！
但是，大家都不知道，面試其實是個雙向道。
不是只有僱主有特權可以一直不斷的拷問你，你是公司選擇來面試的候選人，你也該適時的替自己發聲，問一些關於公司、職位、和市場趨勢的問題。
雖然要開口發問你深埋心中的問題滿恐怖的，但其實你不需要害怕發問這五個引人深思的問題，因為這五個問題會幫助你得到重要的資訊，讓你有機會成為雞群裡的「鶴」。
- Q1：在這個職位上工作，最需要具備什麼樣的特質？
問這個問題會讓面試官看到更多，他們不會再專注在你履歷上寫的東西，而會正視到你的人格。
如果你的履歷並不完美，這個問題會把面試官導向你的人格特質，這時候你就可以用你的好特質彌補履歷表上的不足。那如果你的履歷表已經非常棒了，面試官也會因為你問的這個問題，思考到你能為這個職位帶來怎麼樣的特質，這時候就是你表現的時候了。
更重要的其實是，你可以藉由問這個問題了解這個職位適不適合你。如果面試官告訴你的答案是「自動自發」、「創業、創意性質」，那這個職位可能需要一個能夠獨立工作的人。相反的，如果面試官的答案是「擅交際」、「愛合作」，那這個職位就需要一個更外向的人，也愛團體合作。
了解你應徵的職位需要什麼特質非常重要，這樣你才能更了解你即將進入的工作環境，也能了解你適不適合這樣的工作。
- Q2：你喜歡在這裡工作嗎？
這個問題會讓面試官稍微卸下心防，而他們的回答也會透露出很多事。
如果面試官很肯定的說：「喜歡啊。」甚至面帶微笑、帶著熱忱的雙眼，滔滔不絕地告訴你一堆原因的時候，就是個好兆頭！你可能選對工作了！那如果面試官有點尷尬，又不敢正眼看你時，大概就是一種警告，或許你該想想換個更好的公司。
這個問題會讓整個面談更豐富、也比較不會這麼嚴肅和尷尬。雖然問這個問題真的需要很大的勇氣，但這讓面試官有機會談談自己的經驗，我相信他們會很樂意這麼做。
- Q3：你覺得我有任何特質、技術能力、或背景是不適合這項工作的嗎？
如果你沒有被錄取，才問這個問題。
了解公司為什麼沒有錄取你是很重要的，可能面試官會直接講出你一連串的缺點、或你剛說錯了什麼話、甚至直接告訴你，你沒達到公司所要的期望，等等。
答案可能很赤裸，會讓你傷心好一陣子，但對你會非常有幫助。問這個問題可以顯示出你是個可以接受有建設性批評的人，也願意不斷的改進，雖然你不會是在這間公司內改進或進步，但很難說啊！說不定他們就因此錄取你了。
- Q4：為什麼這個職位會開放徵才？這是個全新的職位嗎？還是有人離開了？
這問題可能有點太直接了，甚至可能會戳到公司不想講的點，但是查出公司為什麼會開放這個職位的徵才非常重要。
如果你得到的答案是因為公司在擴大和升級，那就太棒了！但如果面試官有點含糊其辭、給你的答案很迂迴、或是直接轉移話題，那可能就有問題了。
有開放的職位不見得就代表公司可能有些問題，或不是很令人滿意，藉由問這個直接的問題也比較有機會得到直接的答案。就算答案有點迂迴，那你也可以大概猜出公司是不是很常裁員、或是公司的離職率很高。
- Q5：在這個職位工作，未來會面對到怎樣的挑戰？
這問題可能令面試者不太舒服，因為他可能必須對於這個職位，說出較負面的觀點。
問這個問題真的很恐怖，會讓別人很尷尬，但這是你該為自己爭取的，畢竟這可能是你未來要面對的工作。每個職位都不能完全稱心如意，挑戰也可能是好的，因此，別害怕問這個問題。

Don't Be Afraid To Ask These 5 Tough Questions In A Job Interview
Job interviews can be intimidating, but what many people don’t realize is that an interview is a two-way street.
Employers aren’t the only ones with the privilege to interrogate with question after question. As a candidate, it’s important that you know how and when to voice your most important questions about the company, the position and the industry.
Although it can be scary to speak up and ask your most intriguing (and sometimes painfully terrifying) questions, you shouldn’t be scared to ask these five thought-provoking and insightful questions that can help you gain critical information about the position and make you stand out from the pack!
1. “What are the most important characteristics that someone needs to succeed in this position?”
This question will help your interviewer get past what you look like on paper and focus on you as a person. If your resume isn’t perfect, directing the conversation toward your amazing personality traits can make up for what might be lacking on your resume. If your resume is perfect, recruiters still like to form a connection with a candidate and see what characteristics they would bring to a position.
More importantly, the answer to this question can help you decide whether or not the position is the best fit for you. If the recruiter’s answer is, “self-starter” or “entrepreneurial,” this could mean that you would be working on your own a lot. On the other hand, if “personable” and “collaborative” are the words that come to mind for the interviewer, this could tell you the opposite. Learning what personal characteristics are vital for a position can help you get an idea for the work environment you could be entering and help you decide if a company is a good fit.
2. “Do you enjoy working here?”
This question may catch a recruiter off-guard, but their answer will be very telling. If they confidently answer “yes,” paired with a smile and an enthusiastic, drawn-out response telling you every single reason why they love the company, it’s a good sign. If they hesitate, drop eye contact or force an awkward answer, it’s probably a red flag to take a step back and take another look at your possible future employer.
This question also helps the interview turn into more of a conversation, rather than just question and answer. Asking this question may be daunting, but it gives recruiters a chance to reflect on their own experiences and talk about themselves, which frankly, sometimes we all like to do.
3. “Is there anything about myself, my skills or my background that have made me stand out as someone who might not be the right fit for this position?”
This is a question to ask if you didn’t get the job. Getting feedback on why the company decided not to move forward is essential but may be the scariest question of them all, because there is the possibility that we may get slapped in the face with rejection and a whole list of ways you messed up, said the wrong thing, or simply didn’t live up to a recruiters expectations. Facing potential negative feedback head-on can be scary, but it can also be very beneficial. Asking this question shows that you can take constructive criticism and are dedicated to continuously improving, even if it may not be with that company. Who knows, you might even get the job after all.
4. “What is the reason for the open position? Is it a new position, or did someone leave?”
This question may seem a bit forward or as having a negative connotation toward a company, but it’s critical to do some digging to truly find out why there is an open position at a company. If the answer is because the company is growing or because of a promotion, great! If the answer seems indirect or the recruiter dismisses the question, not so great. Although an open position doesn’t necessarily mean there is something undesirable about a company, it’s important to be straightforward in order to get a straightforward answer. An indirect answer can tell you a lot about any patterns in people quitting, getting fired, etc.
5. “What are some challenges that will face the person filling this position?”
This question can be uncomfortable because it forces the interviewer to talk about potential negative aspects of the position. It can be scary to put someone else in an awkward position, but you owe it to yourself to know what you could be up against if you are the one who ultimately ends up with the job! There will be drawbacks to any position, but challenges can also be good, so don’t be afraid to push for the true answer.
