- What is the company's primary goal for this position in the next 12 months?

"I have banked with your institution for as long as I can remember and I am curious what the vision is for expanding in the future to new markets, especially considering the growth of e-commerce and online banking solutions?"
It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the company website and other online resources to ensure the questions you are asking 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 company site!
"Thank you for asking - I do have a few questions. What is top of mind when it comes to filling this role? Also, what types of career growth opportunities would follow this position? And lastly, do you have internal candidates who are also interviewing for this position?"
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.

Thank you for asking. I have a couple of questions. Is there anything that I can clarify for you that I may not have been clear on? Is there anything holding you back from offering me this job? What is your management style?

Having a couple of questions ready to go can show that you've done your research and are sincerely interested in the role you're interviewing for. However, it's best to keep your questions focused on the company or role you're applying to. Use this opportunity to gain more information about the role that you wouldn't have access to otherwise or showcase how you would approach working in the role. Asking the right questions can help you make a good final impression as a stand-out candidate.
