Good Interview Questions to Ask
You must have at least one (preferably more) good interview questions to ask.
Why?
Because if you have none, we think, as interviewers, that either:
- You think you know everything about the job/Company (though we know you don't).
- You are perhaps not investing enough thought in your career or job choice (since you'd take the job without asking more about it).
So, even if there is nothing else you want to know, ask at least 1 question. It can open up a good conversation, ends the interview on a nice positive note and gives a good last impression!
Some interviewers (us for example) will say to candidates, before beginning questions, that they are welcome to ask any questions as we go along, or wait till the end -- whatever they prefer.
If you are told this, do whatever you prefer.
Sometimes, a relevant question will come to you during a conversation.
Don't be afraid to ask it then.
Sometimes, asking a relevant question can spark a related conversation during which you can demonstrate more of what you have to offer (see below).
Keep general questions to the end, unless they crop up earlier.
You should ask a question if:
- You don't understand a question asked of you.
- There is anything you still need to find out about the job, your training or the kind of person they are looking for.
- It enables you to describe strengths not yet covered by the interviewers' questioning.
- You are unsure if your response to a previous question made sense.
