Questions to ask your interviewer — and why it matters

"Do you have any questions for us?" isn't a formality — it's your last chance in the room to demonstrate genuine interest and sharp thinking.

Ask about the work, not the perks

Questions about day-to-day responsibilities, team structure, or what success looks like in the first six months land far better than questions about leave policy at this stage.

Ask something you couldn't have Googled

A question drawn from something specific the interviewer said earlier shows you were actually listening, not just running through a memorised list.
