Is it right or wrong to for the interviewee to ask the interviewer how the interview went? And why?
917949
No, I don't think that would be a good idea because you should already have a feel how it went and if you ask then the interviewer may believe that you are a bit insecure of your abilities...  Better to assume that you did well and ask the interviewer "What is the next step in the interview process?"  If the interviewer "hems and haws", then it is best to let it go and call back in a week.  If the interviewer says something like "I want you to meet "so and so" or something like that (indicating that your interview went very well) then you can ask how soon can we continue the interview process.

What will happen is that when you're done with your interview, the interviewee will give you a "critique" more or less or how you did.  What this normally consists of is what you'll need to improve upon.  You may need additional training, they may offer some reading material to look over before your next interview, etc.  It's a good way to get you prepared for the job, and for them to make sure they're getting a quality employee.  Good luck with the interview!

Don't be overconfident and certainly don't be flippant.  I would answer:  'During my time with this company, I believe that I have proven myself to be capable of doing any task asked of me.  I am confident that I can continue doing so if given this position.  I have made inquiries about the job description and the abilities required to be successful at doing so and again I feel that I am qualified and capable of meeting those requirements'.

Absolutely it's proper.  If the company is asking you back for a second interview then they are obviously interested to some degree.  Did they pay for the first go-round?  How far do you have to travel?  \n\nThe best way to go about it if you are uncomfortable is to subtly mention it in conversation when getting details about when and where the interview will take place.  Or just ask plain and simple. A reputable company will understand and not take issue with a request regarding paying for interviews.  I hope this helps.  Good luck!

Large companies usually have an HR person coordinating the interview for the hiring manager. In such a situation, its better to bring up the question with the HR person. After the first round of interviews, if you are being called back for further interviews, then I think this is a good time to bring it up with the recruiter. \n\nIf there is no recruiter involved, then in my opinion you should not bring up the compensation question till you get the sense that you are being seriously considered. The exception in my mind is that if you are trying to make some decisions/choices while interviewing for multiple positions then you can candidly bring it up after your first interview is done.

This is an excellent question.What you should do is not to start bad mouthing or simply doubting the ability of the other candidates - a surprisingly common mistake.\nMost times you will not know the other candidates, and it is ALWAYS best to say "well I cannot comment on the other candidates, nor is it my place to do so, however I can assure you that..." \nYour answer should basically be composed from their literature about the job - that is, say that you possess the requisite qualifications, that you have the necessary skills, and that you are interested in the same sort of things as the company - teamwork, personal motivation and integrity. \nIf you can use the interviewer's own description of the job, then so much the better. \nAlso try and pick one or two examples from your past that you feel will stand you in good stead for the current job if this does not involve repetition of previous answers: "And, given that I worked on something similar, though on a smaller scale, with my previous company, I feel that the project you would be looking for the successful applicant to undertake would be something that I could really get my teeth into and I would relish the opportunity to take on this more ambitious, larger project, applying and upgrading the skills that I developed in my previous role".\nGood luck!!!

i wouldnt worry about it, if the company wants to hire you, then explain what happened to them and dont keep it from them if you want the job.

i wouldn't demand an interview... may ask if they are scheduling interviews or when you would hear about a possible interview, but i wouldn't demand one.  you want to appear confident, but not too pushy.

I would say something like, "Hello, my name is_____.  I interviewed with _______ last week, and I'm just calling to find out if a decision has been reached."\n\nYou could mention that you'd be happy to provide them with any extra information which might aid in the decision process, and that you'd be happy to meet with them again.

When you meet the interviewer and shake their hands ask them how do you do?\n\nThank you for your time and the chance to be here\n\nI hope you can see how much interested I am in this job\n\nWhen may I follow up with you?

Tell the truth.  There's really no "best" answers to any of these questions.  Remember, you are interviewing the interviewer and the company as well.  If they don't like your truthful answer, then you wouldn't like working for them, no matter how bad you need a job, if you don't enjoy the people with whom and for whom you work, you won't have it very long.  Good luck!

It is certainly not a good idea. Slagging off at your previous employer will give your prospective employer a bad impression. You should follow these principles.\n\n1. Think about what you are saying well before the interview. If you have a referee from your previous job, you need to make sure that you have a consistent story. \n\n2. Be tactful about the job as the interviewer will wonder if you will say the same things about them.\n\n3. Remember to be truthful. They might check with your former boss. Portray any mistakes as a learning experience that will benefit future employers.\n\n4. Don't gloss over what happened but don't raise it unnecessarily.\n\n5. Try to turn negatives into positives.\n\nGood luck with the job interview.

The only advice I can give which really helps me when speaking with others, especially if in an interview, is not to think too much about your answers beforehand, but allow them to naturally flow from your mind to your mouth.  When a quesiton is asked don't necessarily answer what you think the interviewer wants you to say but what you actually feel, your answers will come easier and will be more convincing this way.  Think of your answers carefully and attempt to articulate them in a clear manner. And of course do not be nervous and do not have too many expectations.

Generally, yes.\n\nIf at all possible, record the interview with a tape recorder (or even with the laptop if you have the ability) and then type it up later.

Whether you actually want information, or just want not to look bewildered when they drop the question in your lap, you are right to have an answer planned. I think you should focus more on what impression your question will make on them, than on what information you might get from the question.\n\nWait till you see how the interview went. If they want you, ask some questions that relate to things *you* want to get out of the job. Do you feel you need training? Do you feel you need to switch roles every few months (particularly important to get promoted to manager)? Don't say you want these these, ask how they they handle stuff like that. Now, if it's a big company and you are talking to a professional HR person or recruiter, it won't make much difference because they won't have any role in your job. But if it's your soon to be manager, get 'em on the hook.\n\nIf you are sensing they aren't sure they want you, you have one more chance here to ask some questions that relate to things *they* want which might make them want you. Figure out in advance what your weaknesses are likely to be, and figure out questions that will show that you understand yourself and are working to improve. \n\nFinally, if it's pretty clear that they don't want you, definately ask why, and what you could have been or had that  they were looking for. It will help you put your best foot forward in your next interview. Plus, it really will make you look more conscientious (don't make it sound like you're ready to fib to get a job) and they might just remember you if another opening comes up.
