It's almost as if whatever you said up to that point is irrelevant. The questions engage the Hiring Manager, move the interview from interrogation mode to consultative conversation mode, demonstrate your intellect, energy, introspection, how you think and process information, and your level of inquisitiveness -- all by simply asking questions. Let us know how this works out for you on your next interview?

Great advice to ask the questions you know you're going to ask on the first day anyway. I always knew it wasn’t smart to say “I don’t have any questions,” but I never knew what questions to ask.
