It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the school's 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 found the answers to by merely watching a video on their website! It's important to ask thoughtful questions that demonstrate your interest in the role and your desire to provide excellent student support.
