20 questions for JOB interview...

In a job interview 20 questions you need to ask and prepare:

An interview is actually about how you can help your future boss and future employer succeed. It's about finding out what their requirements and hopes are and matching up your background and experience with what they need.

 

1. If I get the job, how do I earn a "gold star" on my performance review? What are the key accomplishments you'd like to see in this role over the next year?

2. What's the biggest change your group has gone through in the last year? Does your group feel like the recession is over and things are getting better, or are things still pretty bleak? What's the plan to handle either scenario?

3. About which competitor are you most worried?


4. What's your (or my future boss') leadership style?

5. How does sales / operations / technology / marketing / finance work around here? (I.e., groups other than the one you're interviewing for.)

6. What type of people are successful here? What type of people are not?

7. How did you get your start in this industry? Why do you stay?


8. What's one thing that's key to this company's success that somebody from outside the company wouldn't know about?

9. What are your group's best and worst working relationships with other groups in the company?

10. What keeps you up at night? What's your biggest worry these days?

11. What's the timeline for making a decision on this position? When should I get back in touch with you?

12. These are tough economic times, and every position is precious when it comes to the budget. Why did you decide to hire somebody for this position instead of the many other roles / jobs you could have hired for? What about this position made you prioritize it over others?

13. What is your reward system? Is it a star system / team-oriented / equity-based / bonus-based / "attaboy!"-based? Why is that your reward system? What do you guys hope to get out of it, and what actually happens when you put it into practice? What are the positives and the negatives of your reward system? If you could change any one thing, what would it be?

14. What information is shared with the employees (revenues, costs, operating metrics)? Is this an "open book" shop, or do you play it closer to the vest? How is information shared? How do I get access to the information I need to be successful in this job?

15. If we are going to have a very successful the year after next in 2014, what will that look like? What will we have done over the next 12 months to make it successful? How does this position help achieve those goals?

16. How does the company / my future boss do performance reviews? How do I make the most of the performance review process to ensure that I'm doing the best I can for the company?

17. What is the rhythm to the work around here? Is there a time of year that it's "all hands on deck" and we're pulling all-nighters, or is it pretty consistent throughout the year? How about during the week / month? Is it pretty evenly spread throughout the week / month, or are there crunch days?

18. What type of industry / functional / skills-based experience and background are you looking for in the person who will fill this position? What would the "perfect" candidate look like? How do you assess my experience in comparison? What gaps do you see?

19. In my career, I've primarily enjoyed working with big / small / growing / independent / private / public / family-run companies. If that's the case, how successful will I be at your firm?

20. Who are the heroes at your company? What characteristics do the people who are most celebrated have in common with each other? Conversely, what are the characteristics that are common to the promising people you hired, but who then flamed out and failed or left? As I'm considering whether or not I'd be successful here, how should I think about the experiences of the heroes and of the flame-outs?

I hope you find these questions useful in your interviews.

The Problem of Fake and Useless Drugs- An overview...

The problem related to fake and useless drugs-cast a much-needed light on a growing problem requiring global solutions. Concocted in unsanitary and unregulated conditions, often with toxic ingredients, counterfeit medicines are a high-profit, low-risk criminal activity that puts patients’ lives at risk.

Counterfeit medicines are a direct and growing threat to patient health and safety. It is precisely because of this threat that Pfizer identifies those who counterfeit medicines and prey on innocent victims.

In global partnership with governments and law enforcement over the last decade, Pfizer Global Security has prevented more than 160 million counterfeit tablets from reaching patients around the world.

We are also working with the international community to enact more stringent penalties for counterfeiters. Greater success in combating this scourge will require a more united and global response.
