17 questions you should never ask at the end of a job interview

Hold off on the money talk.

This says: "I'm lazy."

Wait until you're offered the job before you start asking these types of questions.

Focus on the job at hand.

This may tell the interviewer that money is the only thing you care about.

Does it really matter?

The interviewer may wonder if you've had problems with colleagues in the past — and they may even assume you're difficult to work with.

There's really no reason to ask this in the interview. Plus, it sends the wrong message.

Never, ever ask the interviewer any personal questions.

This one says you're not 100% focused on your work.

You should never bring gossip into a job interview. It's highly unprofessional.

This question will raise red flags — something you definitely don't want to do in the interview.

This one may also make the interviewer suspicious.

Don't try to make adjustments to the schedule before you've even been offered the job.

This one puts the interviewer on the spot. If you really want feedback, wait until you get the offer or rejection, and then ask via email what you did well, or could have done better.

You don't want to appear too eager.

"Not asking questions can be just as bad, or worse, than asking terrible questions," says Deborah Shane, a career author, speaker, and media consultant. "It can reveal a lot about your communication skills, personality, and confidence — and it can leave the interviewer with a bad impression of you."
