43 Research Officer Questions And Answers

41⟩ Explain me another part of your job will be conducting interviews with potential candidates. What ideas do you have to ensure the interview gives you the information you need to determine a candidate’s qualifications for a specific job?

I think it’s important for an interview to be thorough and to encourage candidates to answer honestly. I’d make sure to ask the candidates why they are applying for the job and what they know about the industry and company. I’d also ask specific questions about how a candidate believes her or his work experience would be beneficial in the new position. I feel it’s important to allow candidates to ask questions as well, both to help them feel comfortable and to gauge their overall interest in the job based on the questions they ask.

42⟩ What are your career goals for Research officer? (Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?)

This is interview question about your career goals. What the interviewer really wants is to see that you’ve thought about your future, and gauge your ambition. They also want to verify that this isn’t just a stop gap position.

Although all of your answers should be tailored to the organization and position you’ve applied for, this is especially the case with this question. If you’re going for an entry level position, for example, explain how you’d like your career to progress (e.g. ‘I’d like to progress to a Senior Software Engineer’ or ‘I see myself being a team leader…’).

If you’re going for a more senior position, explain how you’d be looking to move the company forward. Have a look at their business strategy or corporate objectives before the interview, and explain how you can help in achieving them.
