How to Ask the Interviewer Questions
A job interview is an opportunity for you to sell yourself to the employer. A big part of the selling process stems from the employer's asking you questions. However, at the end of the interview, the employer often asks whether or not you have questions. When you say "No," it can send a signal to the employer that you aren't too interested in the company. Instead of saying you don't have any questions, use questions to sell yourself even more. Asking questions reveals that you have a genuine interest in the company.
