Career Q&A with Eric Snyder [8/13 #2]

by Eric Snyder, Founder, College-2-Career

Eric Snyder
Question:
Should I use the interview to ask questions, if so, what is a reasonable number of questions to ask the recruiter?
Answer:
Determining what questions to ask is one of the ways you will want to prepare for an interview. Generally speaking, interviewers will give you a chance to ask questions towards the end of an interview. Remember, you also want to learn about the company as well to see if it’s a place where you want to work.

Ideally, it helps to have at least three questions to ask. You can be even more prepared if you have two additional back-up questions ready. Be mindful of the timing for the length of the interview. It never hurts to ask permission of the interviewer if you can ask more. Otherwise, follow the lead of the interviewer who will guide you by asking if you have more questions or that you’ve reached the close of the interview.
