Turning the Tables on the Interviewer

LaneyDoll · 08-14-2013, 07:04 PM

Last week I interviewed for a position that I thought would be suited for me. It went well, it lasted almost an hour and half. PLUS, they gave me a copy of the benefits sheet.

I did not hear back and was stressing it until yesterday when I got a call from someone at the company. I did not interview with her - she received my resume and application from the ladies I did meet with. It seems that they do not think my personality will mesh well with the other department because they are "strong personalities but different." But, they really liked me so passed my info to another manager for another position (she is the one who called me). This position is a supervisory one that answers to the manager who called me. She wants to meet with me and offered to let me meet with the two other supervisors (they hold positions like the one I am interviewing for). And, I get to ask them questions about working for her.

She admits that she is tough and wants things done right. No big deal. I am the same way.

However, I have never had the chance to have a Q & A session with employees of the person I interview with. I want my questions to sound well thought out and intelligent. I do not want it to seem like I am lazy or digging for dirt etc.

If you had this chance, what would YOU ask?

~please note~ I KNOW the company and its product so asking things that would teach me more about either of those would probably not be smart.

Thanks for your thoughts!
