Smart questions to ask the interviewer: AI prompt
This prompt gives you twelve questions to ask at the end of a job interview, grouped into the role, the team, success in the first six months and the company. You say who you are talking to, such as the hiring manager or a future teammate, and what you want to learn. It skips anything you could find on the website and marks three questions that make you look genuinely curious. Take the list into the interview in writing.

Get a better result
Twelve questions grouped by the role, the team, success in the first six months and the company, with anything easy to find on their website left out and the three best questions marked.
The questions are generic and could be asked at any company.
Fix: Paste a short job description and a few facts about the company so the AI can tie each question to something real.
- You ask all twelve. Choose three or four that suit the interviewer you are meeting. Use the marked ones first, and keep one in reserve for the end.
- Questions are about pay or leave in a first round with the wrong person. Match the questions to who you meet. Save pay and benefits for the recruiter or a later round.
Change the interviewer to a senior leader and ask for questions about strategy, how success is measured and what keeps them awake at night.
Give me six questions only for a hiring manager, each with a one-line note on what a good answer would sound like.
