How to Answer DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? in an interview (with many examples)

so you're at the interview and things are going pretty well there is a lot of competition for this job but you think it could be yours you just need that knockout blow and then comes the final question do you have any questions for us you sit there like a lemon thinking for a moment and then you say that's okay you've answered all my questions during the course of the interview your interviewers look a little deflated disappointed that you weren't taking a keen interest in in the company and the job after all they'd spent the last 40 minutes asking you questions they thank you for coming and tell you that they'll be in touch soon and you went and you went today on let them talk we're going to answer the interview question do you have any questions for us we're going to look at how to approach this question and give you lots of examples this is a part of a series of videos we've done on getting a job from the cover letter to the interview so be sure to check out our other videos on the subject and if English is not your first language we'll also look at how you can use this question to impress the interviewer with your English skills to find out more stay tuned [Applause] [Applause] hello and welcome to let them talk so do you have any questions yes you do not asking questions makes you seem uninterested asking the wrong questions is worse you can seem ignorant or just strange so it's important to get it right now if you're running neck-and-neck with another candidate asking the right questions can land you the job and even if you've excelled at the rest of the interview this question is so important for two reasons firstly I'm sure you have genuine questions that you want to ask that will help you decide whether this job is for you or not you might have some other offers secondly while asking these genuine questions you show that you are taking an interest in the company and the role like any good conversation there should be engagement from both sides they've taken into an interest in you and your CV and now it's your turn to take an interest in them it will help establish a connection imagine that you have coffee with a friend and you ask your friend all the questions and they don't ask any back it'd feel a little deflated when you well it's not exactly like that but you see what I mean take every opportunity you can to engage with the interviewers and if the rest of the interview hasn't gone so well this is your chance to recalibrate and get you back into winning position so what do you say first of all by the way it's important to speak with confidence and this is true throughout the interview now this is your opportunity to turn the table and interview them they remind that and here is a psychological trick that will really work you want to indicate to the interviewers that you have other offers in abundance of course don't tell them that directly I've got other offers in abundance well maybe you should try now and let me know anyway if you scrutinize a job and ask searching questions this will give them that impression and interviewers prefer popular candidates to those who are desperate for a job and this is the only interview that they managed to get and that's true in life in general we prefer those who are already successful we prefer to watch the carrot cake recipe with two million views on YouTube than the one with 20 views is it a better carrot cake maybe not but that's how we behave time and time again so let's look at what you shouldn't say asking the right questions might land you the job but even if you've excelled at the interview asking the wrong questions can make them rethink shall we say so here are some real questions I've heard interviews that you should never say my boyfriend is also looking for a job do you have any vacancies for him what did this company actually do do you pay by check or by bank transfer what star sign are you yeah so in these cases honestly it's better to say nothing you've lost the job right there thanks for coming goodbye now don't ask questions about salary or any other questions that can be answered by HR you should already have the salary range from the job ad before the interview and the details can be hammered out later so make sure you get the job first then you can negotiate pay and holidays don't ask basic questions about the company you should have already known from looking at the company's website this will just reveal your ignorance which is never a good thing at an interview don't ask questions for the sake of asking questions do some research and prepare some questions beforehand during the interview some questions may come up and be prepared for that don't ask a question for the sake of asking a question you should be genuinely interested if not why are you there and I think this is not your first language then asking a few questions that you prepared in advance using rich words and vocabulary and expressed in a clear precise way because you've been practicing having you will be a bonus for you because it will convince the interview that you are confident in English right let's look some examples it's important to ask questions that show an interest in the company but also once that will genuinely answer any questions you may have so question number one one of my co-workers like this is good it shows an interest in the team how will this job change over the course of the next year how is technology affecting the business or the department and what changes will we see over the next couple of years what's the best thing about working here of all my skills what's the most important one for this role this is good because they have to Rebeck your skills to you and this will force them to you to look at you in a positive light what's the competition like in this sector and what are you doing to stay ahead from my CV what additional skills can I learn to help me keep up with the job what type of person succeeds of this company what does a typical day look like what are the next steps in the interview process don't ask this question if you only have one or two questions because it's all about you and the job Barney does show an interest so it's okay if you've already asked a few other questions when can I start now this question is good if you need to show confidence in an interview for a position in sales or something like that of course you have to adapt the questions to the job don't ask too many questions I think three or four should be enough based on the time you have always use the questions as a way to get information you need but also to reinforce your suitability for the job now remember what I've said before you'll perform much better at the interview if you imagine you're having a conversation with a friend rather than being interrogated by the enemy so stay relaxed and enjoy it anything this is not your first language do remember that they are not grammar teachers they don't mind they don't care if you make grammatical mistakes as long as you can express yourself clearly and enthusiastically so now have the answers let me ask you a question when you come back to this channel domi a stranger see you soon do I have to take a drugs test to work here is the food at the canteen organic we don't have a canteen the day I pass in the corridor is a bit smelly can I have a desk far away from here if I finish my work of the day can I leave or do I have to stick around can I have a text in the window we can have a pay-rise
