What Questions Do Employers Want to Hear in an Interview? (3)

8. Are there paid, ongoing learning opportunities offered at my level of job responsibility? What obligations do I have if I elect to take advantage of them?

9. What does the company expect in the way of personal and professional growth for a person hired into this position?

10. Does the company value a difference in work and personal time, or does it blur the responsibilities between the two?

Think about your goals first
Don't feel obligated to walk into the interview with a set number of questions, but these give you an idea of the right questions to ask.

Also think of the questions in terms of your carrer and personal goals. If you're moving into a role with more responsibility how will that affect what questions you ask? If you're starting a family soon,
what do you want to know about the company's commitment to work/life balance? Thoughtful planning and preparation for an interview will not only help you feel more confident but will also leave a great impression on the person interviewing you.
