QUESTION 16 OF 35

This concludes our interview. Do you have any questions for me?

Often, interviewers will ask if you have any questions at the end of the interview to ensure all your questions are answered about the organization or the job role. It is best to ask a question or two to show the interviewer that you are eager to learn as much as you can. Good questions to ask are ones that cannot be answered while researching the CIA or the job announcement. Examples of appropriate questions are asking the interviewer what they like most about working for the CIA, what they like least, how many positions they are looking to fill, or when you will hear back about the next step in the process.

You want to avoid asking questions about benefits or pay. It is best to ask questions about your job role or the agency rather than questions covered when offered the position, such as the benefits package and pay scale. If you ask questions about how much you would be receiving, how many vacation days you will accrue, or health and retirement benefits, the interviewer will think that you are only concerned with the monetary and benefits aspect of the job.

"Yes, I do. Thank you for asking. How long have you worked for the agency, and what are your most and least favorite aspects of working here?"

"I do have a question, and I appreciate you asking. I live 30 minutes outside Washington, D.C., and commute into the city daily. If hired, would I need to move closer to Washington? That will not be a problem; I was just wondering what to expect."
