Can you answer the simple questions?

Interviewing staff is almost a weekly occurrence for companies, both large and small. But do your interviewers know what they will be asked by the prospective employee? Isn't it a little embarrassing when you have to reply to a question with a "..sorry, can I come back to you on that" or "..sorry I don't know". You should, however, have of already covered these 'answers' within the interview by giving the candidate the information first. So what basic questions am I talking about then? Below are 10 of the 'must be able to answer questions' that you need to have covered:

1. Who are you and what do you stand for?
2. Why should I work for your company?
3. What is the corporate culture like?
4. What kinds of people work there?
5. What skills are necessary to be a success with your company?
6. How competitive is your total remuneration package?
7. What is the reputation of your company locally?
8. Are you an ethical company?
9. Where do you stand on CSR (corporate social responsibility)?
10. What will having your company on your CV mean for my future?

Candidate questions are getting more thoughtful and probing - can you answer them effectively?
