Interviews are the best way for companies to determine if a candidate is a good fit for their open position. But it’s also a way for you to learn more about the potential employer. There are powerful questions you can ask to show that you’ve done your homework and given thought about your future with their company. It can also help you determine if it’s a good fit for your career. Here are several questions you can ask in your next healthcare interview.
Questions to Build Credibility
You don’t want to skim the surface of getting to know the workplace environments. You also want to demonstrate what you learned about the organization before you came into the interview. So ask questions that show credibility in your background, research, and goals. For example, “In my previous position, I always looked for ways to improve processes. How would you encourage new healthcare employees to implement changes?”
Questions to Understand Business Decisions
In your research, you may have learned information about the organization that you can ask about in more detail. For example, if there was a merger or change in management, you can ask questions to shed light on the decision. It will help the interviewer know that you’re familiar with their organization and want to learn more about the inner workings before accepting a job.
Questions about the Organizational Culture
During an interview, the most important thing you can determine is if the organizational culture matches your work style. And the best way to learn that is to ask directly. For example, “What traits tend to be the most successful in your department?”
Questions about the Decision-Making Process
You also want to know how the hiring manager and organization make decisions. You can also directly about how healthcare providers are given autonomy to make decisions on the floor. You can also ask about their hiring decision with a question like, “if two healthcare candidates make it to the final round, how will you decide who to hire?”
