	Home > Prospective Students > Career Services Career Services Questions You May Ask The Interviewer Prepare questions before you go to the interview so you will not be speechless when the interviewer asks you if you have any questions. You may want to ask about the nature of the job and organization, opportunities to exercise initiative and innovation, chances for advancement, and status of the organization. Save inquiries about fringe benefits (health insurance, leave time, conference attendance) and salary for the end of the interview. You are best off if the interviewer raises these issues. The following are some examples of typical questions. -What duties and responsibilities does this position involve? -Where does this position fit into the organization? -Is this a new position? -Who would be the ideal person for this position? Skills required? Background? -Personality? Working style? -With whom would I work in this job? -What am I expected to accomplish during the first year? -How will I be evaluated? -On what performance criteria are promotions and raises based? How does this system operate? -What is the normal salary range for such a position? (Assuming it was not given in the advertisement for the job) -How long have you been with this organization? What are your plans for the future? (These two questions are appropriate if the interviewer would be your supervisor or superior) -What is particularly unique about working for this institution/department? -What does this organization's future look like?
