Why The Last Interview Question You Ask Matters

“So, Rachel, any last questions?”

You’re in a high-stakes interview, and your inclination is to be agreeable: “Nope, I’m all set!” But that would be a mistake.

The opportunity to ask one last question isn’t just good etiquette; it’s a test. The interviewer wants to find out if you’ve been paying attention and how interested you really are in the job.

For instance, some appropriate questions might be:

❓  “What’s a typical day like in this role?”

❓  “What would success look like in the first few weeks or months on the job?”

❓  “What’s your ideal hire for this role?”

Even better if you can come up with a specific question relevant to the conversation you’ve just had.

The interviewer wants to know you’re engaged, interested and interesting. Don’t lose this opportunity to leave a lasting impression.
