Interview questions

This is a mix of interview questions from the perspective of the potential employee. These are a mix between contract and permanent-type questions, and obviously won't be applicable to every role or company.

##Basic questions

  • What are the standard working hours?
  • Where would I be based?
  • What are your views on working from home?
  • What is your setup for people working remotely (meetings, how you work with them etc)?
  • What salary/rate is applicable?
  • What length of contract would apply?
