6 Job-Landing Questions to Ask at an Interview
When searching for your first professional experience, whether an internship or job placement, it is essential to ask a few questions of your own during the interview. Students entering the workforce today certainly have an uphill climb. The days of simply having a university degree to guarantee a position have passed. Making internships and job placements a valuable resource. HR recruiters and hiring managers want value in their interns. And highlighting your strengths and asking a few key interview questions of your own could qualify you as the perfect candidate. What are the questions to ask during your next internship or job placement interview? Ensuring you ask about the position, your role, and the company will enhance the experience. Let’s take a deeper look at what questions you should have prepared prior to your first internship or job placement interview.

READ REVIEWS
My experience has been incredibly rewarding. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by my team and the wider organisation. The scheme offers a great balance of structured development and autonomy, allowing me to explore different areas of the business while building valuable skills. HR Discover Graduate, Vodafone
I received a lot of support and guidance, though regular 1 to 1s with my manager and I was comfortable to ask anyone on my team for help when needed. At the same time, I was given enough autonomy that I was able to learn a lot about my own working styles and get out of my comfort zone. Scientific Summer Intern, L'Oreal
I've gained a lot of accounting knowledge, especially since my background is in law, which is unrelated to accounting. I've also developed communication, presentation, organisational, and time management skills, among others. BDO has been excellent in supporting me and providing a safe and encouraging environment for my growth. Audit Trainee, BDO
It was insightful and motivating. Through timetabled sessions, I gained a clear picture of how the firm operates commercially and the vital role lawyers play in supporting clients’ businesses. The experience highlighted the variety of legal work available and the diverse career paths within the firm. Furthermore, we were encouraged to organise coffee chats, even with senior members of the firm. This was inspiring, allowing vacation schemers to visualise where they could end up! Vacation Scheme Student, Linklaters
