Job Interview Questions: In a job interview, is it okay to ask when the decision will be made?

I have a job interview coming up. I know most interviews will ask at the end if you have any questions. I need to know when they will announce whether or not they'll hire me. Is it okay to ask or would that damage my chances at getting the job?

Will What You Wear for a Job Interview Help You Pass the 2 Minute Test?

Recommended Answer:
I would ask them. However, I would leave it toward the end of the interview. Like what you said, at the point when they ask if you have any questions. This is a normal question and I am sure that many hiring managers are asked it. After all, it is only natural to want an ideal time frame.

I would make it one of the last questions you ask. Like when you stand up to end the interview. As if they have a time frame for when you may expect a call if you were to get the job. Then, close out the interview with the traditional handshake and thank you.

Good luck in all your future job interviews.

Job Interview Preparation

• Absolutely. Ask them! Don't ask "when will you announce that you will hire me or not". Ask them when a decision will be made or ask when will I hear back from you. Ask other questions first. Ask about daily responsbilities, etc. Go get a book or search online for questions to ask. Make sure you have more than you need because often, they will answer all your questions before you asked them.


• If you have a good reason, just explain what it is and ask politely.


• I think it would be a good question,because It will show your strength as an employee.

Get That Job: Mastering Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
If it is a job of a life time then invest in another alarm clock AND have at least one other friend call your house or come over and wake you up. If you don't have a phone, get a neighbor to wake you up. If it's really early in the morning, tell your friend or neighor that it's just too bad because that's what friends do for each other.

Also, very important, plan on it taking you twice as long to get there as normal. Always use this rule of thumb. A doctor told me that one time and I have never forgotten that cuz I always use to be late to his appointments. You never know if there will be an accident or a traffic jam or construction, etc.

Good luck! Don't oversleep!
