Don't Forget To Ask Questions

An interview can be an exhausting and long process, however, it can make you or break you in terms of getting an internship or a job. Preparation is key to interview success but what you do towards the end of the interview can be a determining factor as well.

As bizarre as this sounds, candidates are sometimes eliminated from contention because they don't ask questions at the end of the interview. It might seem weird but not asking questions can leave the person you interviewed with questioning how interested you are in the position and wanting to learn more.

Some people prepare then ahead of time while others come up with them on the spot but do not forget to ask questions towards the end of the interview. When you are asked, "If you have any questions?", take a few more minutes or as long as the person will allow to ask questions about the company, where the company would like to grow, what the internship/job would entail, etc. The list goes on but don't be afraid to be inquisitive, learn more and find out more about the person you are interviewing with, the company and its goals. This will show the person you are interviewing with you are interested in the position you applied for and makes you more memorable as a candidate.
