By:James Malervy

It is very important to prepare before a job interview. in today's job market if you want to succeed. It's not just how job candidates answer interview questions that influence interviewers' hiring decisions, but also what questions candidates themselves ask during the job interview.

I thought that it was necessary to find out what is the most important question to ask at a job interview. Now I know that this would be a tough question to answer. I turned to social media for help. I asked the members of the Linked HR Group of LinkedIn .com "What is the most important question to ask an interviewer and why?" I did receive a lot of feedback. Now I know that there any many questions you should ask during a job interview., however the purpose of this article is to engage potential job candidates to think of great questions to ask recruiters and interviewers alike to make help lasting impressions. Below are three great questions given by members of Linked HR Group:

1) "Do you have any concerns about my skills and abilities that you think might keep me from being successful in this position"? According to Kirk Johnson, a Managing Director at Sanford Rose Associates, "this question helps cancel out any false negatives"

2) "What is the immediate challenge for this role?" According Stella Toh, a Business Development Consultant for Beacon Executive Search, "when the question is posed by a candidate attending an interview, it usually reflects well for the interviewer. Interviewers had given the feedback those candidates who ask the question shows that they are all ready to take on the challenge once they accept the role."

3) Courtesy of David Walko, Principal of Professionals Choice, "Can you please tell me more about the position and in particular, how do you see both the position and the company growing in the future?
No matter what questions you ask, everyone is important. What is the most important question to ask at a job interview? There isn't just one important question, it's every question you ask and how you ask it that will leave an impression.
