This is a great way of showing that you are interested in the company and your role rather than in simply getting hired.

Lets look at some of the questions that you can ask during the interview as and when it seems appropriate.

Can You Tell Me More About The Company’s Culture?

Let’s take a look at these now.

How Many Holidays Can I Take?

All jobs make provisions for holidays. While it is important for you to know how much time you will be able to take off in the year, the interview is not the right time to ask that question.

Can I Work From Home Instead?

• If the role allows you to work from home, you will be informed of that during the hiring process.

• Asking this question will send out the message that you are more concerned about your own convenience than about your work.

What Exactly Will I Do Here?

• The interviewer expects you to have a basic idea of what the job requires before you even apply for it.

• Asking such a question during the interview will create a very poor impression.

• Of course, you could ask for more details on the scope of the role if you need further information.
