First of all, it is wonderful that you recognize the value in asking questions at an interview. Candidates that ask well informed questions come across as more professional and interested in the position for which they are interviewing. Prepare a list of around five questions, thinking about what you currently know about the organization and what you would like to know more about. Be sure to consider what would be helpful in determining whether this organization is a fit for you? Write your questions down in priority order for reference during the interview.

Some general tips for developing employer questions include:

• Identifying questions that the person with whom you are interviewing will know or have helpful insight into.
• Asking open-ended questions.
• Posing specific questions based on the research you have conducted.
