12 Questions To Ask At The End Of An Interview
Feeling nervous before your interview? Jitters are common and no cause for concern, but it may help to remember that your interview is just as much for you as it is for us as an employer. It's common knowledge that an interviewer will ask you at the end of an interview if you have any questions for them about the job or the company. Our interview process is no exception. You just might be on the wrong track if you respond with: "No, I think I'm good, thanks." Take this opportunity to put your interviewer in the hot seat and to get an inside peek at the team and company culture.
You should walk into every job interview with a few pre-determined questions in mind to ask the interviewer at the end. Here's your chance to ask those burning questions you have about anything you couldn't dig up in the job description or on the careers website. Need some guidance on what questions are good ones to ask? Here are a few of our favorites that we think may help you make a great, lasting impression:
