While job interview normally centers around you for the most part, it isn’t always like that. During a job interview, it is quite important to not dominate the whole thing. Doing so will help shifting the conversation back and forth between you and the interviewer. With that said, here are a few good questions that you should ask to interviewer during a job interview.

2. Where do you see your company in the next 5 years?
This one is also one of the most common question asked; however, it is usually the interviewer who asked you this question of “Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?” This is a good question to ask, as you will learn more about the changes that are being discussed or future changes that will take place later down the line.

3. What are some challenges that a person in this position might have to face?
This question is not so obvious at first, but if you’re going to be hired for a position, wouldn’t you also want some advice? Asking for potential challenges that you might have to face will help you prepare for those problems if they happen to appear in the future.

4. What qualities does a person need to excel in this position?
This question is so valuable for an employee. It will often lead to valuable information. Information that doesn’t appear in the job description. Asking this question can help you reach a goal and succeed in this job. Regardless of how overqualified or underqualified you are; you will get an idea of what you will need to do if you want to be good at your job.

5. What do you like most about working here?
This one should be the question reserved for last. Asking this question will help you get an idea of what it’s like to work in a company from the interviewer’s own experience. Sometime it can lead to a good and memorable talk at the end of your interview and it can often impress and leave a mark on the interviewer.
