Discuss your past experiences and try to showcase your talent by pointing out the different methods you would use to tackle the problem. It is a great way to present your interest in the company and to show your strengths at the same time.

CONTINUED EDUCATION OR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

You should definitely ask your future employer if the company or organization offers continued education or professional training. You want to be able to gauge if the company or organization is interested in the career development of its employees.

COMPANY CULTURE

You should ask the interviewer about their company culture. It is important for you to know if you are going to fit in at your new job. You want to know if it is a strict corporate environment with many rules and protocols or a start-up environment where employees are encouraged to ask many questions and to take the initiative to create new processes that will benefit the company in the long haul.
