Do you have any questions? Here are some good ones for the end of an interview...

One key moment of an interview is at the end, when you’re asked if you have any questions...

If you don’t have one, you may come across as disinterested. If you ask a question that’s already been explained, you risk being perceived as a flake. If you have trouble coming up with that final question, Stephanie Daniel, of Keystone Associates, has 3 really good suggestions:

• Are there any work issues here that keep you up at night that I might be able to help with? This helps the employer start to envision you as an employee.

• What’s your best advice to someone starting out at this company? The answer could yield some really valuable insight for you.

• Could you describe your ideal candidate for this job? This is another great opportunity for insight. Many job descriptions are not written by the person you’re interviewing with and this question could help personalize it a bit.
