Questions at end of interview

SPM1959

What are some good questions to ask at the end of an interview and how many questions are appropriate?

My mind generally goes blank for these.

It really depends on the role.
Usually I ask questions arising from something I have learnt about the organisation, or clarification on a service or something. What type of jobs are yoy going for?

I often ask about career development, the future direction of the company, reference media articles (positive about the company)

hmmm

Depends on the role. If it's a senior role, an interview is as much about you finding out whether you'll fit and so you should have a few questions. There's usually no problem asking them during the interview.

The questions at the end are usually (in my area) about the process itself, i.e. how much longer will you be interviewing, when do you expect to have made a decision.

I usually ask about
1. the company's policies on continuing education (my logic being I'm showing I'm interested in adding to my skills)
2. If I do get the role what would be expected of me in the first few months
3. The company/managers approach to performance reviews

Mr. Loverman

They need to be real questions.

I've interviewed people where they've asked questions they'd obviously memorised. They were things which were either already discussed or didn't really make sense. I know they were probably just nervous, but it doesn't make them come across well.

You probably already have a lot of questions about the role. These are the questions you want to ask if they aren't already answered during the interview.

If you get to the end of the interview and all your questions have already been answered, you just tell them any questions you had were answered during the interview. If the HR person can't comprehend this, you don't want to work there.

I'll second what Mr. Loverman says. If you've done your research on a company and there are questions you want to ask do, otherwise just say that pretty much everything that comes to mind was already covered at interview or when your researched the company.
