Ahhh the dreaded "Do you have any questions for us?" at the end of your interview. And its likely you either have 50 questions swirling in your head, or have drawn a complete blank...
Come prepared with a list of 5-10 questions you want to ask your interviewers, oftentimes most of your questions will be answered throughout the interview, so having backup questions can save you from panicking about having to think of new ones. In your list, you should include three questions along the lines of the ones below:
1. Ask about the top 3 goals for the person hired for the position. This question will position you as a goal-driven candidate. If they have already clearly spelled out goals for the position, ask specific questions about those goals.
2. Ask something specific about your interviewer to get them talking about themselves and their career journey. People LOVE to talk about themselves. Review their LinkedIn profile before the interview and ask about the promotion they got, or how they achieved success in their industry. You can also piggy-back on any details they gave you about themselves earlier in the interview. Maybe they mentioned they work closely with the marketing team, ask what their favorite project with the marketing team was, or how they are able to forge relationships and gain buy-in from a team outside of their own.
3. Ask something technical or very specific to the job. What system do they use for project management? What tools do they use to track risk? What’s their change management process? These are all questions that can not only give you insight to their processes, but also show how well you understand important components of the role.
