Why interviewers ask this
It shows your interest and how you evaluate a role.
How to approach it
Prepare two or three thoughtful questions about the team, expectations and growth. Avoid asking about salary first.
Example answer
What would success look like in the first three months, and what does the team usually work on day to day?
What a weak answer sounds like
No, everything is clear.
It is vague, has no example and gives the interviewer nothing to remember.
Common mistake
Saying you have no questions.
Follow-up questions to expect
- What would you like to know about the team?
- What would make someone successful here?
- What are the next steps?
How to practise
Write five questions before the interview and pick the best two based on how the conversation goes.
Use this as a pattern, not a script. Answer in your own words with your own examples.
