Hint: There is more than one correct way to ask that question. Before that we should keep one thing in mind that we have to sound very confident while asking any type of question. Be it about an interview or any other query.
Complete answer:
It’s generally better to call to confirm a job interview rather than sending an email, which could wind up in the recipient’s spam folder. When you call, you can ask whatever relevant questions you have and receive immediate replies for the same.
If you are asking someone for an interview date you can ask;
“It would be very helpful if you could provide me a date for an interview.”
When initially scheduling your interview, you most probably would have talked to a secretary or an assistant instead of your prospective interviewer. To get a better hand at the interview you can try to find out who will be interviewing you so that you go in prepared.
You can ask for the name of your interviewer and his/her job title so that you know them before the meeting. This is more important when more than one person is going to interview you individually or if a panel interview is conducted.
For this purpose, you can ask them in the following manner;
“I am interested to know who will be conducting the interview with me. Could you please tell me their names and job titles?”
Once you know who your interviewers are, you can do some research online and find out a little bit about them. This way you can know their backgrounds, inclination and prepare questions accordingly. It will also make it easier for you to break the ice and may make you feel a little more comfortable.
Note:
- This is a perfect way to ask questions regarding your interview.
- This is because we need to sound humble in front of the person we are talking to. Humbleness impresses the listener and is a very vital tool if you are trying to convince someone.
- We have to be extremely polite and to the point in asking the question. The question needs to be short and direct. No beating around the bush.
