How to use this template
Almost every interview ends with 'Do you have any questions for us?'. It is a real chance to learn whether you want the job and to leave a final good impression. These note cards group well-tested questions into six themes, so you can choose three or four that suit the role and the person interviewing you. Each card has space to jot down the answer, which helps when you compare offers or write a thank-you note later. The first card explains how to use the set, the closing card gives you a polite way to finish, and the last card lists topics that are usually better saved for the offer stage. Bring the cards in a folder; taking brief notes looks prepared, not nervous.
Tips
- Match questions to the interviewer: ask a recruiter about process, a future manager about priorities, and a future colleague about day-to-day work.
- Avoid questions that the website or job advert already answers, since they suggest you have not done your research.
- Listen to the answer and ask one short follow-up; a conversation is more memorable than a list.
- The question 'Is there anything about my background you would like me to explain?' gives you a chance to address any doubt before you leave.
- Keep your questions within the time left. If the interview has overrun, ask one good question and offer to send others by email.
- Write two or three words from each answer straight after the interview while it is still fresh.
Make it fit
- For a second or final interview, swap general questions for deeper ones about the first project, the budget or how the team measures results.
- For a graduate scheme or internship, add questions about rotations, mentoring and how past graduates have progressed.
- For a video interview, keep the chosen questions on a single card beside your screen and close any other windows.
- For a role in another country, add questions about relocation support, local working hours and how the team works across time zones.
- For a networking coffee or informational interview, use the team, growth and organisation cards and skip the closing card.
