During an interview there are instances when an interviewer runs blank, a long pause will stir up a gut feeling you should never ignore, the interviewer who could very well be your boss if you nailed the job will ask you, "Do you have any questions?" Always remember that an interview is a communication process where the people involved give and take information from each other.
When this instance happens, your interviewer is practically giving you a chance to assess and to know the possibilities of you being happy or being challenged in the company. Oftentimes an interviewee gets so nervous during his interview that he practically forgets his part in the interaction process and that is to communicate or to prepare interview questions to ask the employer.
An interviewer will basically introduce the company to you so you will have an idea on what you are getting in to. If you tend to understand everything he said and pose no questions then that's a bad point for you.
Here is an advice to keep in mind, ALWAYS prepare series of questions to ask. Just make sure you ask questions that were not answered or were not clearly emphasized by the interviewer during the talk. You may as well ask for additional or further clarification on some matters discussed.
Here are some questions for you to consider:
1. What do you take into account to be your establishments' most important assets?
2. What happened to the last person who handled this job? Is this a new position I am taking in?
3. What were the main strengths and drawbacks of the last person who handled this job?
4. What would you consider to be the primary aspects of this job?
5. Where have previous employees who held this position progressed to within the company?
6. Could you please give a scenario of a regular day or week in this position? The particular client I would be dealing with?
7. What is your organization's policy or stand for projects held in other cities?
8. What particular kind of work can I expect to master for the first year?
9. What is the expected extent of guidance or assistance made to individuals in developing career goals?
10. Could you describe your company's management approach and the characters of employee who fits well with it?
11. Does your company provide seminars, workshops and training to employees that could enhance their skills?
12. What particular computer equipment and software do you use?
Doing a job interview is not merely answering questions thrown by the interviewer but your potential employer is also eager to answer questions from you. Learn as much as you can about the position and the people you will be working with, always prepare interview questions to ask employer.
