I tell all my candidates that they must have a list of questions prepared for their interview. Asking questions helps you to set yourself up for success to get your message across.
How does anyone learn anything without asking questions? Sure, the hiring manager is driving the bus in the interview, but they will be impressed to hear what questions you may have.
Asking questions shows you have serious interest in the job and also gives you the opportunity to redirect the interview into a format that becomes more conversational, resulting in the hiring leader to learn more about you.
I found this article by Leadership & Learning with Kevin Eikenberry all about the types of questions that can make virtual meetings more effective.
Everything in this article can also be applied to your interview preparation, especially when you have in-person panel interviews.
Helping my candidates prepare questions as it relates to the job description and company is a big part of what I do as an Interview Coach. Contact me today to schedule a call.
