Although it may not always feel like it, interviews are a two-way street. They are a great way for a potential employer to get to know you and your working history, but they are also a great way for you to get to know your potential employer and their company.
As your interview draws to an end, it’s common for the potential employer to ask whether you have any questions for them. If you’ve seen our previous article The Top 10 Interview Questions You Should ALWAYS Prepare For, you’ll know that when the employer asks this – the answer should always be yes.
