4. Do you have any questions for me?
How to Answer
Before your interview, make sure you conduct research on the company 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 company, and the position.
If for some reason, you are unprepared for the interview, you may need to think of questions off the top of your head. Ask questions regarding company culture, traits they are looking for in the ideal candidate, and if there is anything not listed in the job description that this position will be in charge of. Typically, pay is not discussed during first interviews, so avoid asking any compensation related questions if you are not well into the interview process.
