2013 Deloitte Graduate Recruitment Programme- Tips to get hired

 Saturday, 23 March 2013

This is an extract from an interview between Deloitte and Capital FM, on the upcoming 2013 Deloitte Graduate Recruitment Programme.

5 Questions that Job Seekers Should Always Ask- But Can't.

When you're interviewing for a job, it's crucial to interview the employer right back, to make sure that this is a job you want and a company you want to be a part of. But here are some questions most job seekers don't feel comfortable asking—even though they'd love to know the answers:

1. Why do most people really leave jobs here?

You can always find out from former colleagues, or by researching online about the company’s reputation for staff retention.

3. Can I really use that leave? Some companies offer generous leave time on paper, but not in practice. If you can never get your time off approved and your manager frowns on taking leave, it won't matter how
