December 8- Follow up Questions

#8- Questions at the end of the interview show the interviewer that you are interested in what you've been talking about for the last hour.  Questions that are specific to the job and the company, and bonus points for referencing a unique conversation from the interview itself, also show that you care about this meeting, and you're not going on a million different interviews for any old job.  Make sure you do research for each company and each job you're interested in (if you go on an interview, you better be interested...) and prepare some questions that will help you to either a) better understand what you will be getting yourself into or b) better showcase how you will be the perfect fit. Dont ask questions that only fill the space, or "because you're expected to ask questions"- it makes the entire interview feel like a waste of time for both parties.  While you are preparing for your job search or for each interview, you'll probably see articles about "great interview questions"- ignore those. If they are on the internet, they are not worth asking because they won't be specific to your experience, the job, or the company. If you've done research on the company or the role, you should naturally have a few questions that you can ask if you take a minute to think about what you're preparing for.
