When the interview process is almost over, interviewees may feel more at ease, then suddenly,
the interviewer asks, “Do you have any questions?” Flustered by the unexpected question with an unprepared mind, many people don’t provide any response or pass on this valued, crucial question with a simple “No”. This response may mark you as a “careless and unprepared” candidate, making it easier for the company to overlook you and not offer you the job.
The likelihood is the interview will not finish on a positive note unless you provide a suitable answer to this critical question. Countering the interviewer with some questions will also demonstrate that you are interested in the company and the position.
So, here are some sample questions to ask during an interview for those who have no idea. Remember to write down these questions and use them in your next interview!
1. What is the most exciting thing about working with your company?
2. How do you plan to train and develop your employee’s skills?
3. What are the criteria to measure the performance of this position?
4. How about the structure of the team?
5. How many people are on the team? Which are the teams that I need to work closely with?
Remember, everyone wants to get a job. So, these counter questions allow us to gather some ideas to consider as to whether this company is a good fit for us.
