The interviewer would like to know ahead of time if there is any reason for you to decline a job offer, should you be the successful candidate. If you do have hesitations, be sure to frame them as positively as possible. Ask smart questions, and gain clarification anywhere you need. If you do not have any concerns, that's great! You should still have a question or two prepared for the end of your interview to show engagement and thoughtfulness.
Some questions you can ask include:
- What was the biggest struggle for the person in this role, previously?
- If hired, what do you believe will be my biggest hurdle in the first 90 days?
- What is the most significant change your industry has gone through this year?
