Never Draw a Blank at the End of an Interview: How JobRTS Helps You Ask Better Questions
Interviews can be stressful, especially when you reach the end and hear, “Is there anything you’d like to ask us?” This single question might seem like a formality, but your answer can significantly impact the interviewer’s perception of you. It’s a chance to demonstrate genuine curiosity about the role, the team, and the company. Not having any questions to ask can signal a lack of preparation and interest, which could diminish an otherwise solid impression.
Below, we’ll explore why it’s so important to ask questions during an interview and how JobRTS’s new feature can help you come up with meaningful ones, all powered by GenAI.
The Problem
Every good interview is meant to be a two-way conversation. Beyond the interviewer grilling you about your skills, experience, and goals, you should also be assessing the company to see if it’s a good fit. When you have no questions to ask at the end of the interview, it sends the wrong message:
- It appears you’re not interested. Employers want to see enthusiasm and excitement for the role. No questions = no enthusiasm.
- It shows lack of preparation. If you haven’t researched the company or the position, you won’t have any deeper questions ready to go.
- You miss the chance to stand out. Smart, thoughtful questions often spark deeper conversations and let you showcase your critical thinking skills.
Taking the time to ask relevant, insightful questions is a simple way to show that you’re taking the position seriously and thinking about how you’d fit within the organization.
The Solution
So, how can you make sure you always have great questions on hand? That’s where JobRTS steps in with a brand-new feature.
When you create a new Job Application and Interview(s) on JobRTS and enter the posting URL, our platform does two key things:
- Fetches a Copy of the Job Posting. This ensures you have all the role details at your fingertips, including requirements, responsibilities, and more.
- Generates Interview Questions Using GenAI. Drawing from the specifics of the job posting and who the interview is with, we use a powerful AI engine to craft a set of relevant questions you can ask in your interview.
Those questions automatically appear in your Notes—so when your interview wraps up and you’re asked if you have any questions, you’ll have a ready-made list to choose from. You can refine them if you like, or use them as is. Either way, you’re never left struggling for something to say.
Why AI-Generated Questions Work
- They’re tailored to the role: Because the questions are derived from the actual job description, they’re almost guaranteed to be on-point.
- They highlight your genuine interest: By asking about specific responsibilities and projects mentioned in the posting, you convey that you’ve done your homework.
- They spark deeper discussions: Strong questions can turn a quick “Q&A” into a meaningful conversation that helps both you and the interviewer learn more about each other.
How to Use This Feature Effectively
- Create an Application in JobRTS
Enter the role details and the URL to the job posting in your dashboard. - Create an Interview within the Application Enter the contact the interview is with, type/location, and any starting notes.
