Do you have any questions for us?

The interview process is two or more persons conversation and now it is your turn to ask.
If something has not been answered, please ask the relevant questions about company future, growth plan, industry challenges, etc.
You should be ready with a set of thoughtful questions which show you
as intelligent, well prepared and curious to understand. Prove yourself to be an interested candidate.
David Melancon (Managing Principal of Ito partnership) says there are three questions far more important for a candidate to ask than what the salary is or what the job requirements are.
1. What qualities will a person in this role need to be successful in your company culture — as an individual and as a worker?
2. What’s the company’s position on education and development, including student-loan reimbursement and tuition assistance?
3. How does the company keep employees excited, innovative, and motivated?
Be ready with a set of thoughtful questions. Do not miss this opportunity to show yourself as a good candidate.
Do's
• Ensure a set of questions for this opportunity while you researched about the company
• This is your chance to ask those questions which have not be answered in the interview
• Ask good questions (2-3) to project you as intelligent and interested candidate
Don'ts
• Don't ask for the sake of asking
• Don't repeat questions, which have been answered
• Don't ask questions related to compensation

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance

Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.

Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.

Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.

As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
