that information for you. If not, conduct research on the
Web, visit the library, and tap into industry contacts.

to ask the employer:
-

training programs are available to the person in this
position?

-
What
opportunities are there for growth in the next 12

-
What
growth do you anticipate for your firm in the next 12

Questions You May Be Asked
Your consultant should be able to give you a good idea of
the hiring authority's personality, his or her typical
interview demeanour, and a few important questions that the
employer is likely to ask.
