You probably already know that an interview isn’t just a chance for a hiring manager to grill you—it’s an opportunity to sniff out whether a job is the right fit from your perspective. What do you want to know about the position? The company? The department? The team? You’ll cover a lot of this in the actual interview, so have a few less-common questions ready to go. We especially like questions targeted to the interviewer (“What's your favorite part about working here?”) or the company’s growth (“What can you tell me about your new products or plans for growth?”) If you’re interviewing for a remote role, there are some specific questions you might want to ask related to that.
When you hear this query, you may groan inside, since it can feel like you've covered absolutely everything during the course of the interview. It's always better to respond with a question than to politely demur. Otherwise, you could leave interviewers with the impression that you're not engaged with the conversation, or that you're not interested enough in the position to jump at the opportunity to learn more.
Below are some suggestions for how to respond to this question strategically.
Since this question is common at the end of every type of job interview, it makes sense to plan for it in advance and be prepared. Develop a list of questions that you want answered and keep in mind that your questions may change slightly based upon your interviewer.
If you're meeting with someone from human resources, for instance, your questions might focus on the interviewing process or on the overall organization of the company. If you're meeting with the person who will be your manager, you might ask specific questions about your intended role or about the hiring process for new employees.
Prepare several questions, as many of them may be addressed during the interview.
Your questions should make it clear that you were engaged during the interview and have quickly gained a sense of the company's goals and priorities. You can reflect back to earlier moments in the interview or build off of news within the company or its market.
Aim to always ask open-ended questions, and not questions that can be answered with a "yes" or "no."
This is a great opportunity to learn more about what you'll do if it hasn't already been thoroughly covered in the earlier part of the interview. Questions could include:
Can you share more about the day-to-day responsibilities of this role? How would you describe the pace of a typical day?
If I were hired for this role, what would you want me to achieve in my first two months?
What mechanisms are in place for performance reviews and when would I receive my first formal evaluation?
In your opinion, what is the single most important indicator of success in this role?
Questions About the Company or Interviewer
This is a good opportunity to get a sense of company culture and how the company is performing.
How would you describe the management style of the organization?
What's something that makes you happy about coming into work each day?
How long have you been at the company?
Can you talk about company culture?
What is the greatest challenge facing the company?
What are the company's goals for the upcoming year?
Questions About You
You can use this moment to get a sense of how the interviewer perceived you during the interview, and if they think you're a good candidate. With these questions, you might want to preface by expressing your excitement for the role, and then (based on the feedback you get) address the issue on the spot. You can ask:
Are there any qualifications that you think I'm missing?
Consider following up on the answers to these questions with a thank-you letter.
It may be an open-ended question, but that doesn't mean any response goes. Stay away from questions on the following topics:
Off-work activities: It's fine to ask questions about the culture at the job, but stay away from queries that are focused on non-work activities, like happy hour outings, lunch, or vacation time. These types of questions will make you seem uninvested in actually doing the work, which isn't the right impression to leave. Similarly, don't ask how many hours you'll need to work each day.
