Here are some interview questions not to ask during a job interview:

An interview question not to ask is one that discusses the issue of salary. You dont want to appear money-motivated since this is usually a big turnoff for interviewers. Let the interviewer broach the issue of money/compensation first.

Related to the above point, another interview question not to ask is one that pertains to benefits, vacation time, sick days, stock options or things of that nature. There will be plenty of time to ask about these things once you get to the job offer stage.

Dont ask questions that focus on what you want. Focus on questions that indicate your interest in the job and that show what you can do for the company. This is not the time to ask about your chances of getting transferred to one of the companys exotic international locations.

A final interview question not to ask is any question that is already answered on the companys website. If the answer is shown on the website, it shouldnt be asked during an interview.

A basic rule of thumb is to avoid asking questions that appear self-serving. Certainly you will be talking about things that are relevant to you at some point during the interview process salary, job title, etc but some things are just not a good idea to bring up during the interview.

Also, try to stay away from asking any really basic questions that you should already know the answer to.

Carl Mueller

My name is Carl Mueller and I'd like to thank you for learning a bit more about me!

I feel that I have numerous relevant experiences during my career that come in useful when helping people with their careers:

I know what it?s like to work internationally, having worked overseas (in New Zealand, from 1994-1998).

I've survived several corporate downsizings while many of my colleagues were being laid off.

I have also experienced being laid off twice myself during corporate downsizings.

I know what it?s like to be self-employed.

I've helped many people find better jobs. I started to work as a professional recruiter in 2000 first as an Information Technology (IT) recruiter and then in general recruitment across many industries including IT, manufacturing and marketing. Since this time, I have helped many people find their dream career and it?s a great feeling.

I experienced one of the slowest hiring periods in recent memory especially during the general hiring slowdown that followed the Y2K frenzy in 1999, the bursting of the dot com bubble in early 2000, and then the employment market bottoming out following September 11, 2001.

These were certainly not great times to be a job searcher in most industries nor was it a particularly good time to be a recruiter.

Following this, I began running the day to day operations of an Internet-based company in early 2003 that focused on developing online software and subscription-based websites for consumers. It was then that I fully realized the power, usefulness and potential of the Internet which really spurred me to set up my own website which you can view in my Personal URL section below this bio.

I?m also a Platinum Ezine Articles Expert as recognized by EzineArticles.com, one of the most visited websites on the Internet. This special designation is earned by having consistently high-quality articles published and viewed on their website. All of my submissions are related to helping you find your dream career and many of my articles get reproduced on other websites by their webmasters.

Good luck with your career and I hope I have been of assistance to you!
