Every interviewer has the magic moment in the interview when they turn the tables and ask “what questions do you have for me?” Don’t be fooled, this is a test, so don’t respond that you don’t have any. The interviewer is curious to see what research you’ve done, how seriously you’re taking the interview, and what kind of preparation you’ve done. Show up with a typed or hand written list of questions you want to learn about.
When you do get a chance to ask questions, there are a few areas you should not ask about in the first interview. We recommend avoiding asking questions about compensation, work schedule, benefits, bonus, etc. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the company culture and opportunity to ensure it’s a great match as opposed to just looking for the money. Focus on questions that will educate you on the company’s growth plans, training, career path, management turnover, etc. Also ask the person interviewing you why they like working for the company. This will surely get you an honest response and give you a more personal insight along with building better rapport with the interviewer.
