Complete One, Newcastle based customer acquisition firm, share their tips on what questions should be asked in a job interview.

1/ What skills and experiences are you looking for?

2/ What do you enjoy most about working here?

This question allows the interviewer to connect with the interviewee on a personal level, sharing their own feelings and experiences in the company.The answer will also provide a unique insight into the company culture and how satisfied they are with their job.If the interviewer is struggling to come up with an answer then it's a big red flag.
