“Do you have any questions for me/us?” The classic question at the end of a nerve-racking, adrenaline-fueled job interview. Surprisingly, the most common answer is “no.” This is particularly shocking given the information that can be gathered online beforehand about a potential employer (law firm or company), its focus or products, the interviewer and a host of other particulars. This is where “do your homework” becomes crucial — not just in an interview setting but prior to a meeting, conference or other professional event. And it is not rocket science. It today’s competitive environment it is necessary to stay ahead of and outshine the competition. Legal recruiter Harrison Barnes, in Law Crossing‘s Daily Career Advice, offers his views on the importance of having questions and provides suggestions about what questions to ask. A worthy read for any job-seeker in any field.
