Now, let's talk about the questions that you want to ask during the interview process. Now, many times during the question and answer phase, you can find places to insert questions. Now a lot of times at the end of the whole phase, the interviewer will say; "So, do you have any questions?", which you always want to save one question or two for the end when he or she asks you that, because they're going to. But it's really good, if along the way, you can insert some questions, ask some questions periodically, based on where the conversation is going. This can show your interest in the organization and the job and, who knows, you might just learn something as well. Something that you want to do in your questioning, is probe for information. Probe for information about this particular position, about what they're looking for, and show through your answers to his or her questions, how you fit this position perfectly. How you can, you are the best candidate, hands down. If you detect, from what the interviewer is saying to you, that he or she might have some reservations about you, zero in on those reservations. You can do this through your questioning. And what you want to do, is dispel any concerns that they have about your background, about your qualifications, about anything. And, that's what you want to do in the question and answer period. So, now you can see why it's so important to have those dozen questions prepared.
