How to ask smart questions in interviews to secure your internship / grad job offers?

 1️⃣show your understanding of the industry/company: The question you asked should be in-depth or able to show that you have done your research before your interview. Do not ask any questions that could be answered easily with the company's website.

2️⃣Do not ask questions that might offend interviewers’ privacy: you could ask interviewers’ personal experience/ industry insights, but do not ask questions like how much are their salaries, what are their plans for the future
3️⃣Ask questions that the interviewers really care about: During the interviews, it is not hard to recognise that there are specific areas that the interviewers valued. For instance, if they ask you a lot about Technical knowledge, then you would know they value a lot of Tech related issues. Hence, you should ask questions related to Tech, for example, “is there any programming knowledge you would expect from the new staff?”. Be aware not to ask only HR-related questions, like when will the result be out, it is very likely they do not know, and there is no huge meaning asking them.
4️⃣Show your passion towards the industry: No matter how many questions you ask, the most important thing is to be sincere when you ask
