What questions do you have for me?
"I would like to ask if there is anything in my background or answers today on which you need clarification. If there are, please don't hesitate to have me clarify. I'm curious if you would have any hesitancy in hiring me for this role because, on my end, I know that I am a perfect fit to join your team of Human Resources professionals to take this organization to the next step."
From your experience being on the other side of the interview table, it's always a great idea to have questions ready for the interviewer. Review the company website and other online resources to ensure that your queries are not mundane or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of items you could have found the answers for from merely watching a video on their company site! As always, your interview will gain great insight into your interest in becoming their next HR Consultant if you come to the interview with some great questions.
"Thank you for asking; I do have a few questions. I wonder if you can share what the top two or three goals would be for the person you hire in their first year on the job. As well, I'm looking to hear about some history of this position regarding major accomplishments over the last five to ten years."
