“So, Rachel, any last questions?”
You’re in a high-stakes interview, and your inclination is to be agreeable: “Nope, I’m all set!” But that would be a mistake.
The opportunity to ask one last question isn’t just good etiquette; it’s a test. The interviewer wants to find out if you’ve been paying attention and how interested you really are in the job.
For instance, some appropriate questions might be:
❓ “What’s a typical day like in this role?”
❓ “What would success look like in the first few weeks or months on the job?”
❓ “What’s your ideal hire for this role?”
Even better if you can come up with a specific question relevant to the conversation you’ve just had.
The interviewer wants to know you’re engaged, interested and interesting. Don’t lose this opportunity to leave a lasting impression.
