Nine Interview Questions You Should Be Asking

Selena Dehne, JIST Publishing

When interviewing, many candidates don't realize that the questions they ask are just as important as how they present themselves and the answers they give. Failing to ask questions shows a lack of genuine interest in the job. Asking foolish questions indicates the candidate didn't do enough research prior to the interview. Making either mistake can cost a candidate the job offer.

Heather Krasna, author of 'Jobs That Matter: Find a Stable, Fulfilling Career in Public Service,' advises job seekers to prepare a list of questions before the interview, much like they'd create a list of talking points that address the value they offer the employer.
