“Do you have any questions?”

As queries go, it sounds innocuous enough. It usually signals that your interview is drawing to a close. And if you’ve successfully hurdled an interrogation about your ambitions, experience and qualities as a team player you may be tempted to relax.

Big mistake. How you respond to this question may tip the balance in your favour, or send you straight to the top of the ‘no’ pile.

Saying you think the interviewer has covered everything is very rarely the right option. Much as you may want to shake hands, grab your coat and get out of there while the going is good you should ask something before you leave.

The questions you raise should serve one or more of three purposes:

  • Show that you have done your homework about the firm and the role in question
  • Demonstrate that you are interested in the firm and your potential career there
  • Establish that the firm is the right fit for you in terms of its values and ambitions

With that in mind, here are 11 questions that you could ask at your NQ job interview. Having said that, don’t ask one that has already been answered. Good listening skills are a prerequisite for any legal job.

  1. What makes someone successful in this role?
  2. Can you tell me about the culture and working environment in the firm?
  3. How is work allocated and how will I be supervised?
  4. What type of work can I expect to be doing as a newly qualified at the firm?
  5. Will I always work with the same partners/lawyers or can I expect to be working for people across different teams?
  6. How will my work be assessed? What kind of feedback can I expect to receive?
  7. How do you expect the firm to grow in the next five years?
  8. Is there a mentoring scheme in place and, if so, how does it work?
  9. How does the firm train junior solicitors in business development and networking?
  10. What sets the firm apart from its competitors?
  11. Can you tell me about the types of clients the firm has and describe some landmark cases/transactions?

Finally, there is no harm in enquiring about the next step in the recruitment process and when you can expect to hear further.

Worse than not asking any questions at all are those that show you in a bad light. The wrong step here can undo all your previous good work. Questions not to pose include:

  1. Anything that relates to the salary or how often it will be reviewed. It indicates to the interviewer that money is your priority rather than your career. This type of question is best dealt with through an intermediary or the person at the firm who arranged the interview with you.
  2. Anything about how quickly you can expect to be promoted. It is always good to come across as confident and ambitious, but this goes beyond that to presumptuousness.
  3. Who are the firm’s competitors? This shows that you have failed to do your research – not a good trait for a lawyer.

And tempting as it may be, don’t ask if you will get your own corner office with views across the City.
