The questions you should consider asking during any job interview should not be a concern if you plan them well in advance. Many times, interviewers become stuck as to what should be asked of the applicant. Conducting an interview is not a simple task at all. You need to be very focused and remain on the specific topic. At times you may have to manipulate questions or ask questions depending upon the answer given by the applicant. Questions asked during job interview should be specific and completely applicant oriented.

You should generally ask questions in increasing order of importance. Initial questions should be general to which answers will be informative and comprehensive. Some examples of the types of questions with which you start the interview are: "Tell me about yourself.", "What do you do?", "Why do you want to work with us?" etc. You should gradually introduce questions that are more descriptive, for example: "What do you know about this company?", "Why did you choose to leave your last job?", "What do you find most attractive about this job?" "What seems to be the least attractive element?? From these questions you will assess the confidence of the candidate.

After this series of primary questions, you should progress to the next level of questions. These questions should indicate to you how much skill the person has to do your job and should test their talent and expertise in the related field. Such questions are vitally important in any interview.

You will then need to assess whether or not the candidate can perform the job satisfactorily or if they are able to work under pressure. These questions should be concerned with any previous work experience or the outlook of the candidate and may include technical briefing or other job related queries such as: "What is your philosophy towards work?", "Were you ever asked to leave a position?", "What would be your dream job?", "What are your requirements in a job?", "What has more relevance for you: salary or job satisfaction?", "Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.", "Do you consider your skills match this job or another job more closely?". After these you can ask questions such as: "Are you willing to work overtime, nights, or at weekends?", "What have you learned from previous mistakes you may have made on the job?", "How would you make up for your lack of experience?"

The concluding stage of the interview is primarily concerned with how well a candidate will fit into the team. Here, you will be comparing candidates who are equally qualified. You will want to ensure that the choice is someone who will be an asset to the company rather than a liability; a person who is a productive worker. Some of the frequently asked questions in this regard are as follows: "Tell me about a situation in which you assisted in solving a conflict between other members of your team.", "Describe your management style.", "Relate a problem you had with a co-worker or a supervisor.", "What kind of person would you refuse to work with?" and finally "What do you look for in a job?
