Many job seekers go into the interview to expect that it will be a one-way street where the interviewer will grill you with interview questions, and you answer.  This scenario could not be further from the truth!

Asking questions is an excellent way for you to show a true interest in the job and the company. It also shows that you took time to prepare for the interview. 

10 Great Questions to Ask the Interviewer:
1. How does a typical day look?
2. What projects need the most immediate attention?
3. Can you show me examples of projects that I will be working on with the team?
4. What are the skills and experiences that you are looking for in the ideal candidate?

9. Is this a newly created role?
10. What metric or goals will the company use to evaluate my performance?

Before you leave the interview, always ask about the next steps in the process.  Here are a few questions to ask:
