Ask questions

“Now, do you have any questions?”
Every job interview, if the job seeker is lucky, gets to this stage. What you do now controls whether or not you get an offer. The résumé gets you in the door, but whether you leave as a job seeker or an employee depends on how you conduct yourself during the interview.
Some candidates think that when the interviewer says, “Now, do you have any questions?” it’s a polite indication that the interview is about over and they are about to wrap up. They couldn’t be more mistaken. The question really signals the start of the main course. Everything that came before was just appetizer.
Recruiters are unanimous on this point: Job seekers who fail to ask at least a few intelligent questions are destined to remain job seekers. If you don’t ask questions, you leave these impressions:
• You think the job is unimportant or trivial.
• You’re uncomfortable asserting yourself.
• You’re not intelligent.
• You’re easily intimidated.
• You’re bored or boring.
