Why Should Ask Interviewers If They Have Any Concerns About Your Qualifications At The End Of Interviews?

Many people tell me that they don’t get any feedback on how they did in their interviews. One of the best ways to get feedback in your interviews is to directly ask how well your qualifications match with the role and if they have any concerns about your qualifications.

As the interview is ending, ask “Do you have any concerns about my qualifications and the fit with this role?” This key question will help you identify and remove any concerns your interviewer has with your application and job fit. 

They will let you know what needs further explanation. If they have any, you can answer them using examples from your past work experiences. Otherwise, they will let you know you are an ideal candidate for the role. 

Either way, you will get a better idea of where you stand in the interview process and how they see you as a candidate. Also, you have done your best to clear up any misunderstandings and concerns they could have about you and your fit for the role. This question has a win-win benefit for both you and the interviewer. 

Key actions:

• Plan to ask “Do you have any concerns about my qualifications and the fit with this role?” at the end of the interview

• Answer them using examples from your past work experiences
