What happens if they ask “Do you have any questions?” What should I say?

This is something every corporate interview client asks me. The answer is Yes, Yes, Yes.

They should all be future “we” related, not past and not  “me”.

Good questions can make all the difference in an interview. They can elevate or rerank you, highlight your skills and experience and showcase your confidence, commitment and accountability. Please add your suggestions…

  1. Apart from the job itself, how could I help make the team/company perform better?
  2. Assuming you think I fit the role, what’s the most important thing I should achieve in the first 14/60 days?
  3. What skills, traits and characteristics does this company value the most?
  4. Is there a mentoring programme and how does it work?
  5. This position sounds even better now and I am really excited about it. Is there anything that I should be demonstrating to you today, that I haven’t yet?
  6. What should I have achieved or proven 6/12 months from now that will demonstrate that I have met or exceeded your expectations?
  7. How would you describe your company’s culture?
  8. What attracted you to the organization?
  9. What are the next steps in the selection process?
  10. Could you clarify what you said about…?
