It's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of questions you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their company site! Review the company website and other online resources to ensure that your questions are not mundane or redundant.

"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?"

Focus on asking questions specific to the role you are interviewing for or the company culture and work environment. Examples of good questions are asking the interviewer how you performed in the interview or if you need to clarify anything, asking what the interviewer likes most about working for the company, or if they have any hesitancy about hiring you.

Good question! Be sure to have 2 to 3 questions prepared just in case your first query is answered along the way, during the interview.
