Ask the Right Questions in Your Next Interview

Throw the script away and go from the gut. When you step foot into that interview room make sure your heart is in the questions you ask, even if it may not seem like the right fit at the start.

[5 Common Resume Mistakes and How to Avoid Them]

Start out by listening. Let the interviewer wax poetically about their company, if they’re that passionate about the job ask them why. A great question is, “what is exciting about working here?” Here’s where you see some personal details. Remember, they’re trying to sell you on the company just as much as you’re trying to work your way into a desk there. Does their response fit into your mental checklist? If it feels like the answer is canned, probe a little more. Ask about the company culture, and the group dynamic. You’ll get a good feel for the office mentality from these answers.
