Questions To Ask After an Interview

Asking a potential employer questions after your interview is often overlooked, but you should never leave an interview without asking at least a few good questions.  It’s always best to prepare ahead of time, so you  know which questions you will ask before you go into the interview. 

Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

·         If I were hired, what would be some of my tasks and responsibilities?

·         If you were to extend me a job offer, when would you like me to start?

·         What are the most valuable personality traits the successful candidate would need to do this job well?

·         What are the biggest challenges of the position?

·         How would you describe the culture of your workplace environment?

Questions to avoid:

·         Closed-ended questions that can be answered with  “yes” or “no” – leave it open for a longer discussion and follow-up questions.

·         Questions about salary and benefits – wait until you get the job offer to discuss these.

·         Personal questions – never ask about the interviewer’s personal life unless they initiate a personal conversation.
