"Do you have any questions?"
This comes up in every interview and is your chance to leave a lasting impression.
Apart from the generic "what's a typical day?" or "When will I hear back?", ask questions that will make you stand out.
Let the hiring manager know you're interested...
1. What can you tell me about plans for growth expansion

2. What have you enjoyed most about working here?
This allows you to get a great inside view. It also helps build a personal connection with the interviewer, as they share their own thoughts.
3. Can you tell me about the team I will be working with and can I meet some of them?
