There are vacancies, like songs: you read and understand that the company cares not only about the current, but also about potential employees, everything is so clear and detailed. But, alas, not all job advertisements are like that. Sometimes you need to pick up and call to find out things that are important for yourself and not waste time on a meaningless interview. Decide what questions we will ask the company representative.
1. What responsibilities do I have to fulfill?
Not all vacancies contain a detailed description of the job responsibilities, and in some job advertisements the functionality is generally copied from the job description - in such cases, you just need to find out what exactly you have to do. Not every accountant, for example, is ready to take on the duties of a personnel officer or secretary, and a bank operator is the function of a credit manager. Do not want a surprise - ask! It also makes sense to clarify to whom you will obey and whose instructions you have to fulfill.
2. Why did the vacancy arise?
This question is asked by few, but meanwhile the answer to it will give you a lot of reasons for thought. It is one thing if the vacancy has appeared in connection with the development of a new direction by the company. It’s completely different - if the previous employee was fired or you are taken at the time of decree of the main employee. Try to find out why the company decided to part with your predecessor. Find out on what terms you have to replace the employee who went on maternity leave: as a full-time employee or under a temporary employment contract. Specify in what condition your predecessor left things: if you have to correct other people's flaws or from the very first days work in emergency mode, it is better to know about this in advance.
3. How will the employment relationship be formalized?
Be sure to find out how the employer plans to arrange your hiring: often official registration is postponed until the end of the probationary period (and this is illegal!). You must remember that registration in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation guarantees the payment of holidays and sick leave, deductions to the pension fund and to medical insurance.
4. Where do I have to work?
It is also important where your workplace will be located. We have the service “Superjob - Work near home”. It is most convenient to use it in our mobile applications on iOS and Android. The workplace is further than you expected? Ask if the company has corporate transport. If the vacancy does not indicate the address of work - call.
5. How much will they pay me?
It is more correct to discuss financial issues at the interview - after you learn about your job responsibilities. But if the salary is not indicated in the vacancy or the employer also does not know your salary expectations (for example, he independently found your resume in which “salary by agreement” is indicated) - ask! Just do not start a conversation with a recruiter on the topic of salary - let this question be not the first to sound.
Keep a link to this memo, share it on your page on the social network, print it out and always have it before your eyes when talking on the phone with a recruiter or potential employer. This will help halve the number of “empty” interviews.
