Interview Question
Hey all. I usually just lurk but I need some advice if anyone can offer it.
I have an interview on Friday for a job at the same company I currently work for and it is for the same position just a different branch. (FYI, I have to look for a new position because my branch is closing some time this year and the only way we are guaranteed a job is to interview for one and get hired other then that they could stick us anyone in the great Dayton/Cincinnati region)
I know last time I interviewed they had asked if I had any questions at the end. At the time I did because I knew nothing of the company and job expectations. Now that I do know the company and job expectations I am lost at whether I should have some questions ready in case they asked me.
Has anybody ever been in a similar position? I have never interviewed for another position with a company I am already working for so I have no clue if it is similar to my first interview or not. TIA!
Re: Interview Question
You should always have some questions to ask at the end of an interview.
It's going to be different from when you first interviewed, but there are still some questions you could ask. How the branch culture is different from where you currently are. If there are other people from other branches coming to this branch. What the long-term potential for this branch is. Opportunities for advancement. What your supervisor's management style is. Etc.

This has always been my go-to for that particular interview question. However, I have now settled into a particular industry so I think my questions at my upcoming interview on Monday will be much more specific (plus this seems like a silly question to ask a lawyer lol).
If you're interviewing with the person who would be your manager, you could ask about their management style. Another one I always ask direct bosses is, "What traits do you consistently see in your top performers?"
I agree with PP, ask about the differences in culture between your branch and that one.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for some examples! It has really helped me out greatly. Now I feel a little less stressed about this part of the interview.
