I don't know about you, but I always have a lot of questions for my interviewer once I've answered all of theirs. I recently came across a terrific social media post that provided excellent examples of after interview questions, which remind me of those I have asked when at the close of an interview. You benefit from asking questions and it's totally expected that you'll have some about the job role and the company you're applying to even if you've done research prior to the interview.
I encourage candidates to list questions you have based on the job description & the details of the job role. It helps to list those questions & think about why they are important to you since you should be interviewing your potential employer as well as answering their questions. Here's some examples of questions you might ask.
What are some of the best qualities previous employees demonstrated in this role that you would like to see carried forward?
If I were to have this position, can you give me a of what a typical day would look like? What added responsibilities or tasks might be expected of me?
What characteristics do you see in employees who do well in this position? What are some skills that you were most impressed by?
What are the biggest challenges new employees face in this role when they first start out?
What does the first week of training look like for a person newly hired for this role? Is peer to peer training part of that process or is it strictly management led?
Does the company follow a planned training curriculum during the first weeks?
Does the company encourage strong leader/ team member collaboration?
Do team leaders get specific training to help them develop & improve their team building skills?
Can you share with me a brief summary of your time with the company? What are some challenges you've experienced, examples of your favorite aspects & your overall experience?
Is it possible for you to give me a tour so I can get a feel of where I'd be working & who I'd be working with?
These questions demonstrate your interest in that specific job as well as the fact that you still have a decision to make, should the role be offered to you. The answers will help clarify whether or not that role is a good fit for you as well as revealing their expectations on a deeper level.
Asking questions makes the interview memorable. People often like to share their experiences & their subjective perspective, which may give you a good idea of what it's like to be an employee with that company.
Do you have any questions you wish you had asked your interviewer before you accepted a job offer? Thinking back, what would those have been? Do you think you would still have accepted the job knowing what you know now? Share your question examples with us!

One trending topic for the interviewing process has to do with the best questions to ask the HR representative or Hiring Manager when the interviewer has asked all of their questions. What should you ask? There are some questions you want answers to but many shouldn't be asked if you haven't been hired yet. These questions include:
What is the starting wage/ salary for this role and is it negotiable? Most job requisitions provide information about pay in the job description. You don't want it to look like you didn't read the description before you applied for the job!
What does this job role entail and will there be more responsibilities once I've been hired? First of all, you don't even know if you're being considered for hire. Secondly, most applications will indicate that there are more duties than just the basics described in the job requisition. Read those descriptions and applications thoroughly!
Am I going to have the chance to be promoted and how soon might that be? Opportunities for promotions are based on performance and depending on the company, tenure. It's better to ask if leadership supports employee training for advancement and it's ok to inquire about that process.
These are the most frequently asked questions that may give the interviewer a reason not to move you forward in the hiring process.
Based on your experience, what are some questions you SHOULD ask following an interview? What makes those great questions?
Think about questions you actually have about the company or the job role and be sure they aren't questions with existing answers that are easily found with a little Internet research.

I'm telling you the truth...(Must Read Without Failure.)
Folks listen, keeping people in the dark and shedding a fraction of light periodically is a multi-billion dollars business.
However, I'm going to break tradition [by a fraction] because I'm "paying it forward in life." Okay?
My sister Carla H, in the sense of business relationships mentioned the value of "visualization".
"I believe that visualization is one of the most powerful means that exist in achieving personal goals."
Thank you so much Carla H...you're the best ever!

I'm telling you the truth...(Must Read Without Failure.)
FACTUAL:
Based on Statistics 101, so many people will miss their personal flight in life. Don't let this happen to you.
VALID REASONING:
You're still saying, I don't have a college degree; I didn't graduate from High School; I overlooked by GED Test; I had trouble with the law; I had no family support, and the list goes on...
TRANSITIONING:
Don't permit these destructive characteristics to strip you of a beautiful future awaiting you.
ACTION STEPS:
Stop messing around, and let's get busy.
First, look at "the Man in the Mirror."
Second, write a goal you want to achieve.
Third, give that note to the two men standing in your image.
Fourth, shake their hands and get onboard. Can you see yourself moving forward?
Remember, don't let someone else's opinion of you, become your future and reality in life.
Don't Miss Your Flight In Life!
I'm Edward Alexander, and that's the bottom-line.
