      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      During job interviews, it's common for the interviewer to ask if you have any questions for them. This is an opportunity to gain more insight into the company and the role you're applying for. It also shows the interviewer you're engaged and interested in the position. Some good questions could be about the company culture, the specific responsibilities of the role, or any potential opportunities for growth within the company. Having several questions ready for the interviewer is always a great idea. 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 items you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their website!
