Why is it so important to close your job interview with a powerful statement right at the very end? Well, as soon as the interview is over, the hiring manager will score you.

So there is five powerful closing statements in an interview. In a second, I’m also going to give you three brilliant questions you can ask the interviewer at the end of your job interview, but don’t forget, first of all, to tell me in the comment section below the article, which closing statement one, two, three, four or five you are going to use at the end of your interview.
Now, at some stage during the end of your job interview, before you give your closing statement, the interviewer is likely going to give you the opportunity to ask them some questions of your own and the questions you ask. The interviewer could make the difference between a pass or a fail. Make sure you ask three smart questions. Here’s three brilliant examples that you can ask the interviewer.
- Question number one. What’s the one thing I can do in this role to help your business be successful? That’s a really smart question to ask. At the end of your interview, because it tells the interviewer you are focused entirely on helping their business to succeed.
- The second question is how is the company evolved over the years? This demonstrates to the interviewer that you are not just interested in a paycheck, you want to know how the company has progressed.
- And finally, the third question to ask. At the end of your interview is what are the plans for the company over the next five years? That’s a really smart question to ask because it tells the interviewer you plan to stay working for them for a long period of time.
