Questions to ask at the end — Interview skills for students

Tip

Ask, thank, leave calmly — “one or two thoughtful questions, thanks, a calm goodbye”

1. Good: a normal day in the role, what first-year students find hardest, how your work will be guided, clubs or projects to join, the next steps.
2. Poor: “Did I get the job?”, “What does this college even do?”, “Can I leave early every day?”, or saying “No questions” and walking out.
3. Close well: thank the panel, ask about next steps, a calm smile and a polite goodbye.

Use it for: The last few minutes of admission, scholarship, internship and job interviews.

Worked example: 🙋 Good or poor question to ask at the end of an interview? “What are the next steps after this interview?” → a good question
