Do you have any questions for me?
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 of 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 move me to the next stage of interviews?
"Absolutely! What are you looking for in an ideal candidate? What type of pain points is your school currently experiencing? And lastly, what is the last attendance policy your team implemented and how is it going?"
Before your interview, make sure you conduct research on the school and thoroughly review the job description for any clarification you may need on the position. Asking intelligent questions demonstrates to the interviewer your level of interest in their position.
Ask questions regarding workplace culture, traits they are looking for in the ideal candidate, and if there is anything not listed in the job description that they would like to share.
Typically, pay is not discussed during first interviews, so avoid asking any compensation related questions if this is an early stage interview.
"From what I understand this is a newly created position, so can you tell me how you identified the need and what types of duties may not be listed in the job description? I would love to further understand a day in the life of an attendance clerk with your school."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

What you need from me? Can I go back and explain any of my answers in more detail?

Good start! When asking, 'What do you need from me' aim to be more specific. Are you speaking in terms of moving forward in the interview process? Or, are you referring to what they need to see from you offered the job?
