5 great questions YOU should ask in an interview

Interviews are hard enough when you're the one being asked the questions, so it can sometimes be daunting to think of good questions to ask them when it comes to that time in the interview. 

You shouldn't just ask "smart" questions because you want to look good - employers can tell when you aren't paying attention to their answers. You should be asking questions that sound smart but also show that you care about the company and are really interested to hear what they have to say. At the end of the day, you are also evaluating them and whether or not you want to work there. 

Below are 5 questions that great candidates ask in an interview, courtesy of this article on Inc.com

  1. What do you expect me to accomplish in the first 60 to 90 days?
  2. What are the common attributes of your top performers?
  3. What are a few things that really drive results for the company?
  4. What do employees do in their spare time?
  5. How do you plan to deal with...? [insert major challenge, i.e. technological changes, new competitor in the market, economic trends, etc.] 
"A great candidate doesn't just want to know what you think; they want to know what you plan to do--and how they will fit into those plans," says Haden.
