Questions to Ask at the End of an Interview

Here are recommendations from FAQ Farmers:

• Anything you are interested in knowing. You don't have to ask anything though. But some good ones to ask if they didn't go over it or it wasn't posted in the job listing are, when will the job begin and when will they be calling the people or person they hired. Don't ask what the job pays, you'll discuss that after they choose to hire you. Or it's a set wage and they'll tell you after you are hired.

• I would say to always ask questions if given the chance. This shows that you are interested in the job. What if you don't have a question? You should think of at least 2 or 3 intelligent questions ahead of time. One I always use, "Do you have any concerns about my ability to the job?" This will give you insight right away about what the interviewer may be using to cross you off of the list, which you can clarify right away. Also, intelligent questions add points to your "overall score" when employers are remembering you.
  
  
• A very good end of interview question would be: Do you have any concerns that would prevent you from recommending or selecting me for this job? This would give you an opportunity to directly address any concerns that the interviewer might still have.

Let the employer know that you are excited about the opportunity. Ask them what the next step in the process is. After the interview, follow up with a thank you note or email ASAP. In it you can again thank them for their time, comment on a point or two that they mentioned that excites you about the position (shows you were listening), give an example where your skill set matches their needs, clarify or touch on a point you failed to mention in the interview, etc. Keep it brief and no negatives! Remember, your goal is to get the job offer. If the job is offered to you, then you can address any concerns you may have, because now the company is selling itself to you. And you can always turn the offer down.
