Questions that question your application

Are you asking the right questions? As we've said in the past - interviews are a two way process however there are some things you could accidentally hint which might bring doubt to your application. In its most obvious form this would be any question related to the role/company that was covered on the job specification/website - make sure you read everything extensively. Making sure they believe the role is perfect for you is the number one priority so don't ask questions about travelling or re-locating if you know the role hasn't suggested any aspect of it or hint at certain skills you would like to use when you know they are unrelated. Other questions like how much holiday do I get? or how often does everyone go out? could make you look unfocused

On a side note GRB are looking for questions from candidates to ask in a graduate employer poll. It must be a multiple choice question so they can vote and you will be accredited for it on our website! Submit your question here
