How do I ask my interviewer for the job description before the interview in 'German'?
If you can speak German well enough to interview, you know how to say (in German), “Please describe the job description.”You are overthinking this.
What are some good questions to ask in a job interview?
Hey, I’m glad you’re asking this, because the questions you ask can be the difference in whether you get hired.Ideally you’ll want to ask a mix of questions about the job, the group and the company. I’d say 2, 2 and 1 is deal.Examples…Questions about the job:Why is the position open right now?What have other people who have held this job gone on to do in the company?What are one or two traits that you think are most important to be successful in this job?Who would I report to in this position?How will my performance be measured in this role?Questions about the group:How does the team work and interact together each day?What other groups would I be interacting with?How is the group’s performance measured?What is something the group is struggling with right now that I could help solve?Questions about the company:How would you describe the company culture?What are some reasons people like working here?What’s the biggest challenge the company is facing right now?MISTAKES TO AVOID:Don’t ask about salary or benefits. Let them bring it up first. I KNOW you want to find out… but if you ask too soon, they’ll think you care more about that than the job itself. And you will NOT get hired, trust me.Also don’t ask things that can be found on the company website or job description. Mission statement, etc. Just make sure you can’t find it in 5 minutes of research before you ask!Hope this helps.If you want even more tips and questions you can use, here are 105 smart questions to ask the interviewer.

Why would the interviewer want you to recite the job description in the interview?
I have never been asked “please recite the job description” like a memory game, but I have been asked to describe what I think the most important skills are based on what I read in the job description. Or “What do you think the most important elements of the role are?”. Albeit, these are similar questions and I think these are what you are talking about.Several reasons why I would use them if I was to interview:1 - Has the candidate read the description? Do they know what they are applying for? If not, I don’t want them.2 - Has the candidate applied to loads of places and this is “just a job to them”, and are they interested enough in this place not to just recite very generic things, but to have noticed specifics that the company is looking for.3 - It will show me what their priorities are. The first skills they list may be useful but not the main ones that I am looking for. It may imply (not just from the order alone, but other clues) that they know what the job is, what it involves, but slightly misunderstand it. For example, I am a database developer. Some roles are highly development centric, some focus on reporting, some much more centered on the infrastructure. Which skills the candidate lists first will show if he understands the focus of this particular position. If he gets the order wrong, it would suggest that I need to explain to him more detail of the position.4 - It is also a bit of an ice breaker question. I would expect people to be able to tell me a sentence or two about the job description, so gives them a question to put them at ease, and sets the focus on the interview.5 - I guess you could say it focuses their mind and by saying the key skills out loud, helps to keep that in mind when answering the other questions.
I got called in for a Job Interview. But i lost the job description. Is it bad to ask employer to send it?
If I were you I would make every other effort to find the job description first before you ask. You can check the company web site to see if they have a careers page which lists open positions, see if it is posted on hotjobs or monster, or try to find a similar job for a similar company for the information. It would even be better to ask during the intervew, since they give you the opportunity at the end to ask your own questions, and you can say 'could you describe a typical day in this position' to get some information.
Office depot questions to ask after interview?
Ask questions that make you seem interested in the job, first of all. If it's a line job (stockroom, cashier), you can't negotiate any of that, but if it's a job at a corporate office, that may be negotiable. Otherwise, its generally best to let them bring up salary. In professional jobs this is done when they ask for your "salary expectations". There's nothing wrong with saying "going rate". Also, let them tell you about benefits. Salary and benefits are usually only discussed when they make you an offer. Otherwise ask things like, how easy it is to move up, is there a career path. If you are just working there in college, make sure they are flexible with your classes (and especially with your exams). Good luck.
Interview questions.?
Ask about your job resposibilities- what you will be expected to do. If there are things you don't think you can do or just refuse to, then you may not want the job. Also ask about any benefits.... insurance, bonuses, incentive plans. Ask how many hours a week you will work and when.
What do they ask in a job interview?
If you submitted a resume, a lot of the questions they ask will be about the stuff you've written down on your resume. They'll probably also ask you some questions about their companies (so be sure to do some prior research on the company's background, what they do, their goals, etc before coming to the interview). They'll also want to see if you have the right skillsets for the job (so be sure you know what the job description entails for the job you're apllying for, and be certain that you have the experience or at least the knowledge to perform those duties well if hired). They'll also try to get to know something more about your personality to see if you are a good fit with the current team. Good luck. And remember, this is when the saying "You Only Get One Chance To Make A Good Impression" couldn't be more true, so make sure you're dressed to impress (wear something appropriate for the job). And always remember to send a thank you letter/email to them after the interview (preferably the next day). You will hear back from them if they're interested in bringing you on board. Otherwise, there's very little chance you'll be hearing from them again. If you don't hear from them after 2 days from the time you interviewed, that's a bad sign....you probably didn't get the job. If for some reason they called you and told you that you didn't get the job, you might consider sending another thank you letter/email to thank them for getting back to you. That shows character. There's a good chance they may call you up when they have another job they like to fill.
Can I ask for a job description from the hiring manager with whom I would be having a phone interview with?
You’re generally expected to know the description of the job before interviewing. It’s a great idea to ask the recruiter for any notes you need before the interview. For example, I’ll often ask “Can you share the interview format with me”, or “Who will I be meeting, and will it be a panel interview or in sequence?” Lastly, I’d ask for a detailed job description if available.If these things simply weren’t made available to you, then your company has some rather odd hiring practices, but it would be a good idea to email the hiring manager and ask for “any information I might need to review before our interview.”
