      How to Answer

      Remember, it's not a badge of honor to say that you have no questions. Many candidates feel that by saying they do not have questions, they are showing that they have researched the job and fully comprehend the requirements. Don't fall into that trap. One of the biggest interview mistakes you can make is not having any relevant questions prepared.

      By asking an insightful question, you are showing the interviewer full engagement and interest. Be sure that your queries are not mundane or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a question that is easily answered by simple research. Dig a bit deeper and ask questions related to the company's goals, your interviewer's favorite part about working for State Street, upcoming changes in the industry, or see if you need to clarify anything from your resume.

      Marcie's Feedback

      While these are all amazing questions, try to limit them to around three so you don't give the impression that you haven't done any research on the company yourself. The goal is to show the interviewer that you're interested and engaged but also knowledgeable about their organization already.
