面试利器：如何向考官提问

 　　面试利器：如何向考官提问

　　面试最后，面试官总会问“你还有什么问题吗？”大多数人会回答“没有问题”，或者问一些让你减分的“傻问题”。其实，在面试中，问对问题，问好问题，往往可以让你在面试者中脱颖而出。看看什么样的问题是好问题吧。

　　A job interview is incomplete without a question and answer session that has you doing the asking. You should be prepared with relevant questions about the company, the job at hand, and your potential future with the organization. Keep your interview on the right track and your foot out of your mouth by asking questions the right way.
