What should I ask to the Interviewer ?

I live in US in country live style, I am an legal imigrant, I have experiences less than a year, but I have planing to work to other place becouse my former job doesn't fit me, I need to learn from the basic step. My former job require me to be profesional and educate, I am a new comer in this place, I'am going to work in small store or some kind of truck stop , My English doesn't very well, so what should I ask to the employer when he/she interviewing me? thank you

1. Ask them if they can handle your current level of English. If they can't it will be very frustrating for both of you.
2. Ask them if they will contribute a matching 8% to a 401K plan for you.

This may sound strange but how does a job in which you must be professional and educated not suit you? Your aspiration is a Qwik-E-Mart?

Hi- It is good to be prepared, and there is nothing wrong with having a list of questions in hand during the interview, in fact, this impresses an employer (I interview people @ my workplace)- I would ask what the pay is going to be, what the chances are for a raise in the future, what the hours of work are going to be, and ask for a job description. Also, ask if they are going to offer any kind of health insurance and what other benefits are offered. Be prepared to have them ask you questions, like- what is ur biggest weakness- what is ur biggest strength- what is the biggest reason why you may need time off/have to call in (example- a sick child)- and what you think you should be paid. Again, it is important to have a list of questions with you. An employer should be an EOE- meaning Equal Opportunity Employer. Be upfront- ask if ur language limits are going to be a barrier, or a strike against you. Make sure you get to ur interview @ least 10 minutes before it is scheduled, dress nicely, and be prepared. In addition, make sure you have a GOOD list of references,(try for 3 people)- even if it is a Pastor in ur Church- not relatives, and have their phone numbers and ways to get in touch with them handy. Be organized.Good luck to you. Have a nice week.

Here are some questions to get you started. I am sure you will think of more. Good luck with the interview!
1. What your schedule will be - days, hours, same schedule every week or does it change from week to week.
2. Job duties/what is expected of you.
3. Benefits available - paid vacation, medical benefits, retirement plan
4. Dress code.

Q&A time
Hi,
Your written English seems understable, so be confident. You definitely need ask questions during the job interview. Also remember to be a good listener & be confident in yourself (be prepared physically and mentally). At the end of the interview you need ask about the pay range (May I know about what is the pay range for this position), because it is important question to ask, unless you already know about it. Many career site info tell you not to ask about the pay. But I would ask. That is just my opinion. Please check below info from the careerbuilder.com. It should help you.
Good luck!

When preparing for an interview, most applicants concentrate on formulating well-crafted answers to potential questions from their interviewers. However, not many realize it is just as important to prepare a few good questions they should ask during the interview.

"When interviewing job applicants, I often learn as much from the questions they ask as from the responses they give," said John Langland, president of Langland & Langland Consulting. "What potential employees inquire about reveals what they deem important -- as opposed to merely answering my questions with information they think I will find important."

What can asking questions in an interview do for you?


Show your interest in the position and the company


Give you an active role in the interview


Offer explanations about the position and the company, which help you decide if you want to work for that organization


Showcase the depth of your knowledge and help you guide the discussion into a particular area of expertise

Langland suggests preparing at least three questions in advance and taking notes during the interview to record the responses.

"A few insightful, knowledgeable questions can speak volumes about you and distinguish you from other job candidates," he said. "However as important as asking questions is asking bad questions, such as, 'How many vacation days does the company offer?' is worse."

Langland advises asking these 10 questions during your next interview:

1. What are the top three tasks you want the candidate to perform after being hired?

This gives you a concrete idea of the projects you will be working on if hired. Often job ads list general qualities and capabilities the position requires, but the answer to this question will lay out the actual specifics of the job.

2. Why did you choose this company?

The answer will help you determine the organization's strengths and weaknesses with this insider's perspective.

3. How do you see me benefiting the company?

This tells you exactly what they're looking for in a candidate and where they see your strengths.

4. Is there room for growth and advancement?

This points to your drive and initiative and underscores your intent to secure a career, not just a job.

5. Are there opportunities for professional training or further education?

This shows a willingness to learn and adapt as changes in the position or industry occur. Adaptability is very important in today's fickle employment market and may make you very valuable to the company should a reorganization occur.

6. How will I be evaluated and by whom?

This provides insight into the company's corporate culture and the department structure in which you will be working.

7. What is the general culture of the company?

This can tell you if you will fit into the organization. If they're strictly a "suit and tie" operation and you're all about comfort clothes, you may want to rethink the position.

8. Are there other job responsibilities not mentioned in the ad?

This reveals exactly what the ad meant when it said: "...and other duties as assigned." Will you be helping other departments in a pinch? Making coffee? These are things you should know before going any further in the candidate selection process.

9. When will you be making a decision on the successful candidate?

Knowing this helps you gauge when to follow up on the interview.

10. May I call you if other questions arise?

This keeps the door open for further communication.

The interview is an artful conversation designed to help both parties learn more about each other in an effort to decide if the candidate and the position are a good match. Use it as an opportunity to spotlight your accomplishments and determine if the job is right for you.

.. "...ask OF the interviewer" , or "...say TO the interviewer" . English, or any 2nd language, IS difficult to learn! Watch a LOT of television so you can match words with situations.
As for interview questions, yes, ask about salary and stuff, but mainly ask, "Will my poor English hurt my job performance?"
This will let your boss know that YOU know your English needs some improvement, and you're not afraid to talk about it.
But mainly, know what the employer will ask YOU. Read the links below. . Good luck, you sound like a nice person . .

Ask them why they would interview someone that can't speak english.
