INTERVIEW QUESTION TIPS

Always prepare questions to ask. However, you do not need to ask an exhaustive list of questions, just ask those of key interest.
 

Having no questions prepared sends the message that you have no independent thought process and that you are less interested in the job you have applied for.  

Some of your questions may be answered during the course of the interview, before you are offered the opportunity to ask.

If so, you can simply state something to the effect that you were interested in knowing about ..., but that was addressed during the interview.
 

You could ask for additional clarification if applicable.  

Beware not  to ask questions that are clearly answered on the employer's web site and/or in any literature provided by the employer to you in advance.

This would simply reveal that you did not prepare for the interview, and you are wasting the employer's time by asking these questions.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

If you are having trouble developing questions, consider the following samples as food for thought.

However, don't ask a question if you are not truly interested in the answer; it will be obvious to the employer.

Here are some possible questions to consider...
