Paste the job spec and your CV. We'll generate 10 smart questions to ask the interviewer — tailored to the role, with research tips from LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and more.
The quality of your questions reveals the quality of your thinking.
”When the interviewer asks "do you have any questions for us?" the answer matters. The candidates who have two or three sharp, role-specific questions ready come across as serious. The ones who say "no, I think you covered everything" do not. MonkCV gives you 10 to choose from — written specifically for the role you applied for. Free, no sign-up.
Paste your CV and the full job description into the two boxes. MonkCV reads both at the same time and works out what is interesting, surprising, or unresolved about this specific role — the things only someone inside the company could properly answer. It then generates 10 tailored questions you can ask, each one with a brief note on what it signals to the interviewer.
You will not use all 10 — pick the three or four that actually interest you and that fit the flow of the conversation. Walking in with options is what matters. It means you can adapt to whatever has already been covered, instead of being forced to ask something that was already answered halfway through.
Recruiters consistently report that the questions a candidate asks are one of the strongest signals in an interview — sometimes more telling than the answers to their own questions. Sharp, specific questions about the role signal someone who is evaluating the company, not just hoping to be selected. Generic questions ("what is the culture like?") or none at all signal someone going through the motions.
The strongest questions are the ones a competent insider would want to answer — about what success in the role actually looks like, what the team is wrestling with right now, what they would change about how the work gets done. MonkCV generates these by reading the job description the way an experienced candidate would. For a deeper playbook, including the questions to avoid, see The Questions You Should Be Asking in Your Interview.
Anyone in an active interview process. It is most useful the day before — generate the list, pick your favourites, and you have one less thing to think about on the day. Especially valuable if you are in back-to-back interview rounds at the same company, where reusing the same questions risks looking like you are not paying attention.
Also useful for senior candidates, where the questions asked at the end carry disproportionate weight (the hiring committee usually debriefs on them), and for career changers, where probing thoughtfully signals you are taking the transition seriously rather than treating it as a backup plan.
What questions should I ask at the end of a job interview?
Ask questions that show you have thought about the role beyond the job description. The best ones probe what success actually looks like in the role, what the biggest challenge facing the team is, how decisions get made, and what would change about how the team works today. Ask things only an insider can answer — that is what signals you are evaluating the company, not just hoping to be picked.
How many questions should I ask the interviewer?
Two or three thoughtful questions is the right range. One looks unprepared; more than four eats into the interviewer's decision-making time. Prepare five to seven good questions in advance — MonkCV generates 10 — so you have flexibility to ask the ones that have not already been covered in the conversation.
How does the Ask the Interviewer tool work?
Paste your CV and the job description into the two boxes. MonkCV reads both, identifies what is interesting and probe-worthy about this specific role, and generates 10 smart, tailored questions you can ask at the end of the interview. Each one comes with a brief note on what it signals to the interviewer. Free, no sign-up.
What questions should I NOT ask?
Avoid questions answered on the company homepage (it signals no research), questions that focus on what the company can do for you before you have shown what you can do for them (holiday policy, working from home, salary in early interviews), and questions that are really statements in disguise. Save logistics for after you have an offer or a clear signal one is coming.
Is the Ask the Interviewer tool free?
Yes — no sign-up, no trial, no credit card. The AI infrastructure costs MonkCV money on every request, covered by optional donations from users who find the tools useful. The Support button in the footer is genuinely optional.
Should I prepare my own questions or use generated ones?
Both, and combine them. The generated questions are a strong starting point built around the specific role you applied for. Pick the three or four that genuinely interest you, then add one or two of your own that come from something you actually wondered about while reading the job description. The combination reads as more authentic than either approach alone.
