Questions YOU Can Ask At A Job Interview

A job interview is the opportunity for a company to determine if you are a good fit for the position they have. It's also a good chance for you to see if you are a good fit for the company. You'll likely have questions about the company and how they work. You should be prepared to ask some questions of the interviewer yourself (at the end of the job interview). Here are a few and why you should ask them.

What is it like working for this company? What is the culture like?

You want to work for a company that has a similar mindset as you. You also want to know how the employees are treated. This open-ended question is a great way to get a feel for the company.

How do you see this position evolving in the future?

This will give you a good idea of what your role is in the company and what your opportunities for growth are while performing this job. If you are looking for a job that will allow you to move up and take on more responsibility, you need to know that.

Can you describe an average or typical day in this position?
With this question you'll get an idea of how much time is expected to be spent on different tasks and what tasks you should be familiar with. This question can also help you decide if you really want this job and if it is a good fit for you.

How soon do you expect to make a hiring decision?

This question gives you a time frame on which to base your follow-up calls and an idea on when to move on. It's important to know when they'll be hiring because you likely have other job prospects you are pursing and you need to be able to evaluate them accordingly.

When asking the right questions in an interview, you appear interested in the job and you tell the interviewer you have put time and effort into preparing for your interview.
