This is the most important question you’ll get asked in a job interview
Your interview is progressing well. You’ve concisely communicated why you’re here — in your career journey and in this interview — with your “tell us about yourself” narrative. You’ve provided concrete examples of your professional accomplishments that speak to your readiness for this role. You’ve conveyed the value you could bring. You think they’re convinced.
Then comes that final question: “Do you have any questions for us?”
It’s tempting to skip this one. It’s the end of the interview, and by this point, you may be feeling slightly wrung out, overwhelmed, and even short on time.
Be aware, hiring managers often place a lot of weight on what you say here.
