Recommendation

In preparation for a job interview, you’ll likely do your homework: You’ll read up on the target company and industry, think of relevant examples that showcase your skills, and coin strong answers to common interview questions. But will you prepare questions to ask the interviewer? Presented with the opportunity to ask questions, many job candidates politely decline, and most neglect to prepare for this aspect of the interview. Alison Green, a career advice columnist at online magazine The Cut, offers useful tips to asking questions that will elicit the information you really want to know. 

Take-Aways

  • At a job interview, don’t forgo your opportunity to ask questions.
  • Ask about the role to elicit details that don’t appear in the job description.
  • Query what success in the role will look like.
