I read that employers remember interviewees who ask questions at the end of the interview better than those who don't ask questions. Does anyone have any suggestions of questions I should ask at the end of the interview? Thanks

  1. How long have you been involved with this company? Can I ask what attracted you to this Company?


  2. Read up on the company you are interviewing for and ask something pertaining to that company.  Something like - where do you see this company in 5 years or so, is there potential for growth?  Or - I noticed that you have been expanding lately will you be looking for satellite operations?  How long have you been working for this company?  Do you find it a rewarding place to work?

  3. Ask the interviewer questions like :How long has the company been around? Do they have a health plan? What are the hours like? What is the advancement like in your company? Is there any educational benifits?( Start each question with a lead in for ex):( I'm a real go getter and really like doing my job as well as learning and taking on  other roles, What is the advancement like in your company? )

    Hope this helps remember!Also  always look at them in the eye but not long enough to stare them down. Focus on something directly behind them.

  4. What do YOU enjoy about working here?  Do you envision YOURSELF being here in 5 years? -or- Where do you envision yourself in 5 years?

  6. Hi there, I definitely agree that interviewers remember people who ask questions but interviews are a lot simpler than people think. The real question here is...  'What do you want to know?" If you're going to ask questions, ask questions that make sense and ask because you actually want to know the answer. The people who give interviews usually know what they're doing so they can tell the difference between an intelligent question and someone trying to sound smart.

    My advice - research the company a bit (not too much, you don't want to come off as a know it all or a freak) and formulate 2 types of questions;

    1) Questions that relate to you on the job (salary, hours, why the last person left, what type of personality they are looking for etc.)

    2) Questions about the company (How long they have been around, what the turn over is like, and any outstanding questions you may have related to the research you did on the company). You may for example be applying for an accounting job in a company that makes handbags. While you may be an accounting wiz you may not know anything about hand bags. I would remember the guys who's applying for the accounting job but in addition to talking accounts, took time to ask a bit about how hand bags are made. (See what I’m saying?)

    Basically, have an idea of what you want to know before you go to the interview and if there's something that intrigues you, ask about it! The other thing... remember that you're also getting a feel for if you could or would work at this place so ask questions that will help you figure that out. You're interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.

    Stick to that advice and you'll be fine... good luck with your interview!
