One of my favorite moments to make people squirm is at the end of a mock interview where I ask people “Do you have any questions for me?” So many don’t have a clue what they want to ask or what they want to know about the hypothetical or actual company they are hoping to work for.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Some questions I suggest when people are stumped are?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Ask the person interviewing you “What has inspired you to stay with the company for so long?”<\/div>\n
“Tell me about the kind of person you are looking for?”<\/div>\n
“What are the next steps in the interview process?”<\/div>\n
“Tell me a little about your turnover rate – how long do people stay with your company?”<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
These questions and others can help demonstrate your willingness to stay with the company long-term, and also demonstrate your willingness to know more about what it will take to be the ideal candidate.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
What questions have you asked at the end of an interview? Share them with me, and I will share them in a future post.<\/div>\n
