Top 8 Questions To Ask The Interviewers in Your Next Interview

“Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.”

― Robert Half

When you are interviewing for a job, you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you.

In this article, I want to share with 10 questions that will help impress your interviewers and learn more about the role from the interview.

If you are planning to work in a full-time role, you are going to spend 35-45 hours with the company. Take the time to ask the questions that are important to you from the interviewers. Create a set of questions you can ask the interviewers and use this opportunity to further showcase your expertise.

Asking well thought out, productive questions from the interviewers can help you differentiate yourself from the rest of the candidates rather quickly. Asking insightful questions shows interviewers that you care about performing well in the role, and that you are knowledgeable about the subject matter.

Here are few questions that help you impress your interviewers:

  1. “Can you tell me about the number one issue or set of issues I can help you solve in this role?”

  2. “What are the personality characteristics you are looking for in an ideal candidate?”

  3. “What problems and challenges are you facing that you are trying to solve with the role?”

  4. “What are some of the challenges I could face in this role?”

  5. “Can you describe what a typical day would look like in this role?”

  6. “What are the expected 30, 60, 90-day plans for this role?”

  7. “Do you have any concerns about my qualifications and fit with this role?”

  8. “What will you expect from me within the first 30-60 and 90 days?

When I used to interview for jobs, I asked questions similar to the questions that you see on the above list. When I asked for feedback about my interviews, the interviewers generally saw me as one of the strongest candidates because of the type of questions I asked. 

Use the above list to build out your question list.

Much love!
