Hi everyone! I'm looking for a job now, so I made a good resume and prepared well for interviews. I read articles about how to act and what to say during interviews.
Yesterday at an interview I asked the employer what they could tell me about the job that wasn't in the job ad. I also asked if it's possible to get promoted in that role and what I would need to do.
After that the interview ended quickly and I felt they wouldn't hire me.
Was it wrong to ask those questions? They were in the tips I read for job seekers.

    The question you asked about promotion in an interview could make the interviewer think that you were not interested in the job you were interviewing... for. A suggestion for questions in an interview would be: 1. Describe the culture of the organization ( this will help you decide if it is the right fit for you). 2. This candidate will be successful in three months, six months, and a year, if what?  more

    Your question was fine. Build a large network, most job offers come through or because of that

    As an outsider looking in, I noticed that you are already trying to move out of the position that they are hiring for. Maybe focus less on getting... promoted & more on the position available.  more

    I wouldn’t necessarily ask about promotion or I might rephrase it to say opportunities for growth.

    It's not bad to ask questions in an interview but let the questions be relevant to the position you are being interviewed for.In your case, I feel it... was awkward to ask a question on position you were not being interviewed for.If it's a promotion,let it be in line with your skills and position you are being interviewed for.Otherwise, keep applying for jobs.Your job is around the corner. more

    I have applied for 1000 jobs in the last 5 years. I've been to probably 10 interviews, and I realized that the experience and qualification on... theresume is only 50% of getting the job. Whethwr the interviewer likes your face or look is the other 50%. I'm Asian and over 50 yo. So I know this to be true. more
