As a candidate, it is easy to unintentionally breeze over parts of your background and work history that may be more important than you thought. When you ask the interviewer a question like this, you remove some opportunity to reject you for unclear or inaccurate reasons.

If the hiring manager is unclear on parts of your background, this question gives them the chance to back up and ask you for further clarification. You should ask this question in every single interview as it is incredibly useful!
