What questions do you have for me?
It's always a great idea to have quality and meaningful questions ready for the interviewer. Review the Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited website and other online resources to ensure your questions are not mundane or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of questions you could have easily answered.
Actively listen during the interview and ask any follow-up questions you might have based on what the interviewer has said. Consider asking follow-up questions about the interviewer, Takeda, their products, the position itself, and when you can expect feedback from the interview.
"You already answered several of my questions throughout our conversation, so I appreciate that. I did have two additional questions, however. How long has this role been open, and why did the previous person leave? How would you describe the culture of this team specifically?"
"Thank you so much for allowing me to ask a few things. First, in your opinion, what qualities are most critical to possess to be successful in this role? What is your timeline for making a hiring decision to fill this position?"
Other questions could include the following:
"What is your favorite part about working here?
What are some of your current departmental goals?
What is the size of the team I would potentially join?
Do you have any immediate hesitations about my experience or background?
What do the career paths look like for this area of the business?"
