00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.663
Almost as important as how
well you answer questions in

00:00:03.698 --> 00:00:06.623
the interview is how well you
can ASK questions of

00:00:06.658 --> 00:00:07.699
the interviewer.

00:00:07.734 --> 00:00:10.087
When you go into a job
interview, it is a good idea

00:00:10.122 --> 00:00:13.039
to have several questions
prepared to ask the interviewer.

00:00:13.074 --> 00:00:16.093
A lack of questions may
appear as lack of interest

00:00:16.128 --> 00:00:18.864
on your part.
Add some of your own based on

00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:21.547
the research you have done on
the company and the industry.

00:00:21.582 --> 00:00:24.358
The interviewer will likely
say, "Do you have any

00:00:24.393 --> 00:00:26.878
questions for me?"
If they do not, you should

00:00:26.913 --> 00:00:29.175
take the initiative toward
the end of the interview and

00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.861
say, "Pardon me, but there
are a few questions I have

00:00:31.896 --> 00:00:34.404
about this company and
about this position. "

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.009
You should be paying enough
attention during the

00:00:37.044 --> 00:00:39.272
interview to ask several
well-planned questions.

00:00:39.307 --> 00:00:42.832
Your questions can reveal a
great deal about your values,

00:00:42.867 --> 00:00:45.947
interests and intelligence,
so ask them carefully and

00:00:45.982 --> 00:00:46.848
thoughtfully.

00:00:46.883 --> 00:00:49.077
Some questions you may
wish to ask are:

00:00:49.112 --> 00:00:52.174
"What challenges do you think
I will face in this position?"

00:00:52.209 --> 00:00:54.619
"How did you get started
in this company?"

00:00:54.654 --> 00:00:57.710
"What are this company�s plans
for the next five years?"

00:00:57.745 --> 00:00:59.940
"How does this department
fit into the

00:00:59.975 --> 00:01:01.441
organizational structure?"

00:01:01.476 --> 00:01:04.253
"When can I expect to hear
from you about the next stage

00:01:04.288 --> 00:01:05.679
in the interviewing process?"

00:01:05.714 --> 00:01:08.986
And, "What else can I provide
for you to help in making

00:01:09.021 --> 00:01:10.260
your decision?"
