At the end of your interview, the person you’ve been speaking with will probably ask if you have any questions of your own — and if you’ve done your homework in advance, this can be a great way to get a better sense of the position you’re applying for outside of the details included in the job description. While it’s great to tailor your questions to the specifics of the role in question, here are a few basics to consider as you prepare:
Pay attention to how the interviewer describes the workload and daily responsibilities. This can give you insight into whether the role aligns with your work style and expectations.
This question can give you a much better sense of the expectations for the role, like the specific goals they want you to reach or the numbers they’ll be using to track and assess your performance.
This can help you understand the overarching problems you’ll be working to solve if you join the team. It can also help craft your responses for the last part of the interview and your thank-you note, giving you the opportunity to position yourself as a piece of the solution.
While there’s a lot of information you can gain about a company through research, the most informative answer you’ll get to this question will be from current employees. And no one wants to join a toxic workplace.
Don’t discount this one! Building your career doesn’t stop at adding jobs to your resume — and finding an employer who’s willing to help develop your skills can be a huge plus.
This is a great way to show your interviewer that you’re excited to keep moving through the process — and it’s good for your own reference, just to know what you can expect.
