It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the company website and other online resources to ensure your queries are not mundane or redundant. Even if you don't have any burning questions, use this prompt as a chance to show the interviewer what you can bring to the team. Reiterate your interest in and curiosity about the position and the organization. Here are some sample questions:
- When would you like to have this position filled
- How long has this role been vacant
- Is this a replacement search or a newly created role
- What is your favorite part about working here
- What is the company's primary goal for this position in the next 12 months
- Is there anything from my background and experience that I can clarify for you
- What do you see as the most significant change in this industry over the past three years
- Is there any reason why you would not hire me

Great! These are all great questions and asking three of them is perfect. Your goal with your questions should be to show that you're eager to learn about the company but that you have done your due diligence on it already. The questions you have here work great for that purpose. Good job!
