3. What questions do you have for me?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. However, the last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of questions you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their company site! Review the company website and other online resources to ensure that your questions are not mundane or redundant.

Focus Your Answer On
Focus on asking questions specific to the role you are interviewing for or the company culture and work environment. Examples of good questions are asking the interviewer how you performed in the interview o,r if you need to clarify anything, asking what the interviewer likes most about working for the company or if they have any hesitancy about hiring you.

What to Avoid
Avoid asking questions about salary or benefits. The salary and benefits package is often listed on the job announcement or discussed with Human Resources when offered the position. If you ask about money or the benefits package, it makes the interviewer think you are most interested in the monetary aspect of the job. Of course, it is perfectly acceptable to talk about the salary or benefits if the interviewer asks about your salary expectations. However, you do not want to bring it up yourself.
