An interview is a two-way street. It’s important to ask questions that help you understand whether the position is a good fit for you and your goals.
What is your timeline for making a decision? May I call or email you to follow up on my candidacy?
(Translation: What are the next steps?)
Ask this question toward the end of your interview round to determine your next steps. If the interviewer would prefer you to follow up via email, make sure you jot down the person’s name and email address or ask for a business card.
Carefully research the organization before your next interview, and make a list of questions to ask each interviewer. Your preparation will demonstrate your genuine interest in the role and help you properly evaluate the position.
