What do you think about this article? Rate it using the stars above and let us know what you think in the comments below.
You've waited in line, approached a recruiter, presented your resume and given a persuasive-yet-friendly pitch for why you'd be the perfect employee for Company X.






Then the recruiter asks you that ominous question: "Do you have any questions for me?"

You sweat. You stumble. You panic.

You blew it.

Companies want employees who are active and selective. And asking recruiters smart questions is a good way to make yourself memorable to them.




Here's a quick list of potential questions to ask a recruiter at a career fair. Naturally, you're not going to ask all of the questions below -- you've only got a couple of minutes. But this list will get you on the right track and help you stave off the sweats and stumbles.

Questions that focus on what you can offer an employer:

What kind of person are you seeking for the position?
What kind of educational background do you prefer?
What employment experience is required?
What additional skills, like languages or computer skills, are particularly valuable?


Questions that focus on what an employer can offer you:

What do you like about working for your company?
How many people work at your company?
What kind of benefits does your company provide?
What kind of advancement opportunities does your company provide?
Where does your company hope to go in the next few years?
Is there anything else I should know about your company?
How can I contact you if I have a few questions later on?


As you talk, remember to:

Be friendly and conversational.
Stay positive and stay on topic.
Speak clearly and speak confidently.


Stick to the questions above, and perhaps you'll soon hear the question you've been waiting for: "When can you start?"
