Most interviewees focus solely on their
potential answers to interviewer queries
when they prepare for an interview.
But it's really the questions you ask
that can make or break your candidacy.
At appropriate intervals during an interview, you should ask
questions that communicate your interest in the position,
highlight your capabilities and demonstrate your commitment to
excelling in your career.
Remember, since you’re competing (either with other candidates
or against yourself), by asking questions you are expanding your
competitive palette from just answers to your answers and your
questions.

“Based upon this interview, what doubts, if any, do you have
about my ability to do this job?”
Tackle the interviewer’s doubts by first
discovering them and then addressing them.
Some will be legitimate shortcomings but most
will be misunderstandings.
Either way, you should take your best shot at diffusing the
interviewer’s concerns.
Alternatively, the interviewer may respond that they have
no doubt about your ability to handle the job.
And if they think this, you benefit from the interviewer
stating it aloud. It helps strengthen their belief.

“I think I would fit in well with your company culture and values. How and how
much does the company evaluate potential fit in its
hiring decision process?”
O.K., it’s a totally loaded question,
but it is effective at getting the interviewer
to think about your fit with the company.
It also sets up a statement about how that fit should
weigh favorably in the decision to hire you. More
employees get let go for not fitting into the work culture
than for any other reason.
You should never fail to ask this question if you’re being
interviewed by a potential boss.

“I know you must be talking to others about this position, and I may not be the lead
candidate. Is there any additional background or information that
I could provide to become the lead candidate?”
If you’re not the lead candidate, you
should find out why. The competition may be
too fierce and you should be looking elsewhere.
There are better and lesser people out there.
The sooner you know that the competition is insurmountable,
the better. Or you may be able to dispel the perceived
superiority of the “lead candidate.”
Then again, you could be the lead candidate. And if you are
the lead candidate, the next question is critical...

“I really like this opportunity; I would like to ask for the job…”
Revel in a pregnant pause, ask for the job,
and wait for the answer. You could get it right
there, especially if you’re the lead candidate.
You may get a response such as “we have other people to see.”
To which you may respond, “Of course, I have some other
interviews as well, but I wanted you to know that I would like
this job.”
Look, you should ask for every job you ever interview for. Not
necessarily because you want the job but you should never leave
an interview completely uncertain of where you stand in the
candidate ranking.
Asking for the job will provide you information about how you
stack up against the competition and where the company is in
the hiring process.

If you don't get the job, it's usually just a misunderstanding…
We have all had interviews that went well and
others that have gone poorly. Sometimes,
it isn’t a fit. More often, it is a simple
misunderstanding between people about what
the other represents. Asking questions in addition to answering them
during an interview probably won’t change the frequency of mis-
fitting a person to position, However asking questions will make sure
you are better understood and competitively positioned to win the
job. From the interviewer's perspective, it can be hard to choose the
right candidate from a series of one-sided question and answer
sessions. The two way conversations are more engaging and
influential to the outcome. One way or another, make your next
interview go back and forth.
