Interview Skills Worksheet: Questions to Ask

Interview skills lesson 14: Questions to ask at the end · Set 498 · 40 questions

Tip (Ask, thank, leave calmly): 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. 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. Close well: thank the panel, ask about next steps, a calm smile and a polite goodbye.
