So, you’ve landed yourself into the interview round of the most coveted job that you’ve always dreamt of. You have answered the questions to the best of your abilities and the interview is about to end now. This can be the most daunting part of an interview – the part where you ask the questions.
You don’t want to appear like you haven’t understood what you’ve been told, but you do want to show interest and engagement with the role and organisation in question. So how do you do that?

So, here are the questions to ask at the end of an interview – and how to ask them.
It is important to gather background information about the company and try and get on with each other so that the employment turns out to be a successful one.
Some of the basic questions that can be asked are about the role that you are being hired for and what are the team’s wider objectives.
Other detailed questions
For more practical questions as to what you’ll be doing or what will be expected of you, one ask something like:
- What are the main relationships I would have to build?
- What would my KPIs be over the first three months?
- How would a typical day be structured?
Questions like this help you determine if the day-to-day of the job would be right for you, as well as showing the interviewer that you are ready to make the job work for you.
A little personal touch
However formal the setting might appear, just remember your interviewers are human too, and taking a little bit of personal interest in them is always a good bet. Try something like:
- How did you get into this organisation?
- What do you wish you’d known before you started?
- What makes you proud to work here?
These shouldn’t be the only questions you ask, but this shows that you take an interest in the people around you.
Last but not the least
You don’t want to get to the end of the interview and feel like you haven’t sold yourself well, or missed any opportunities to talk about some great relevant experience. Hence, you can ask these questions.
- Are there any criteria you think I haven’t fulfilled?
- Would you like me to expand on anything further?
It is important to remember that the questions you ask will be your last chance to make a good impression, so one should think before taking any step that would be regrettable later.
