Questions to Ask Your Interviewer
Most people walk into interviews ready to answer every question thrown their way. But here’s the secret: asking great questions can be just as important as answering them. It shows your genuine interest in the role, company, and culture while demonstrating that you’re proactive and thoughtful.
Whether you’re interviewing for an internship, entry-level position, or senior role, having questions prepared can set you apart.
1. What Does Success Look Like in This Role?
Why ask: This helps you understand the expectations for the position and gives you clarity about what the company values. It also demonstrates your focus on delivering results.
Example variation: “What are the key accomplishments you’d like to see in the first six months or year?”
2. What’s the Team Culture Like?
Why ask: Every company has its own vibe. By asking this, you get insights into the dynamics of the team, their collaboration style, and whether it aligns with your preferences.
Follow-up: “How does the team celebrate successes or handle challenges?”
