[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 195007, member: 36740"] Hey there [USER=32507]@hfbjsdhfbhf[/USER] , This is a really good question. I remember frequently worrying about this area whilst prepping for my interviews. The truth is, the key to the approach is [B][I]attentively listening[/I][/B] and paying attention during the interview. The way I interpreted it, asking questions about a topic discussed during the actual interview itself was more beneficial than over-relying on pre-set questions conjured up by oneself prior to the interview. The reason is because through preparing so heavily on some questions, you run the risk of asking a generic question which could easily be gotten by a deep-dive of the firm on the web. As you can imagine, this would have more negative impacts on the interview, rather than contribute to the impression you had already given. I had personally found that asking my interviewers questions about, say, a topic of the article/case study we had discussed [B][I]and their own impressions[/I][/B] of it, brought out a really exciting discussion. In any interview, your interviewers will also introduce themselves and their practices at the start. I found it exciting also asking them questions at the end about their work, relating it to any specific market trends I had read up on the news, and how it impacts their day-to-day.
