<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are many elements of a job interview, and it is up to
you to prepare accordingly.<span> </span>The first
impression is crucial; however, one way to leave a lasting impression is to
close out an interview with a few solid questions for the employer.<span> </span>Check out these questions from forbes.com to
finish strong at your next interview and leave you at the top of the company’s
list of candidates.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This question may seem too straightforward, but that’s what
makes it a solid ending point for your interview.<span> </span>Inquiring about exactly why you might not
have the job in the bag shows strong communication skills and determination on
your part.<span> </span>The interviewer will have the
chance to voice any uncertainties he might have, and in return, you will have
the chance to address them.<span> </span>This gives
you the opportunity to dispel, or clarify, any doubts of the interviewer that
might get in your way.<span> </span>You will not
regret asking this question!</span></span></span></div>

expectations?”</span></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This question shows confidence and determination to do well
if and when you are offered the job.<span> </span>Not

hire.</span></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This question shows initiative and diligence.<span> </span>You are showing the interviewer that you are
ready to work for them and help the company to achieve its goals.<span> </span>Asking this question will also provide you
with more insight into your responsibilities as an employee for the company,
while also allowing you to expand upon what you can bring to the table if they
choose to hire you.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This question shows a personable aspect of your
character.<span> </span>You are shining light on the
interviewer, giving them a chance to talk about themselves and helping you to
establish some common ground.<span>
</span>Additionally, every workspace encompasses a different culture among
their employees.<span> </span>It will be beneficial
to you to hear about a typical day at the office and determine if you see
yourself fitting in there.</span></span></span></div>
