Asking smart, thoughtful questions can help you make a lasting impression on the hiring manager and figure out if the role you're interviewing for is the right fit for you.
There is one question, in particular, that you should "always" ask at the end of the interview, says Jenny Cheng, vice president and general manager of Google Wallet.
Most of the time, in their response, they will reveal something that you might not have even realized was important to them in hiring, Cheng explains.
If the hiring manager asks you to clarify an earlier response or elaborate more on one of the skills on your resume, this is your chance for a re-do.
Or, "They might tell you, 'Your experience is really impressive, you're one of my top candidates,'" Cheng adds.
