how do you respond to interviewer when asked "do you have any other questions"?

you already asked what you could and don't have any more, but you want to end it on a high note.

"I don't have any at this time"? sounds so stiff

 
"so tell me about the chicks that work here....would you say maybe 7s on average or we talking more like wildebeest 3s".
 
PLEASE have a question ready to ask... even if it's a question that you've already asked another interviewer.

I've been doing a lot of interviews lately, and I find it annoying when people don't have any questions about our company or about the products we develop. It's almost like they have no interest in the job at all, and are just desperate for a paycheck. We don't want people like that, because they don't stick around long.

Besides, it would be good to ask a generic question like "Why do you like working here?" to multiple people just to see what answers you get. If the answers sound like BS, you'll know that it isn't a good place to work.

what are some good questions that you get?
 
Usually the best questions are the ones that relate in some way back to the company - ask about their routine and how they work together. If you really want to throw them off ask about their strengths and weaknesses 😉

Personally, I like it when I get questions that show that the interviewer has been paying attention. For example, if I tell them them that our application runs on Linux, I'd LOVE it if someone asked me what version of Linux we use and why. These applicants that we get say they know UNIX... why not prove that by asking us some technical questions?

I did that when I interviewed with this company, and it worked for me...
 
Research the company a bit, and I'm sure you'll have questions. If you don't, then you probably aren't interested in the company enough to work there.
 
ok, serious answer, find out something about the company founder ahead of time and think up a way to ask about how smart the founder was to get into the industry and build up such a great company
 
Always have questions, even ask ones that you know the answer to just so that you appear engaged. About a company there are an infinite amount of generic questions to ask such as how is business, how is growth, what is turnover rate, what room is there for career development, how is the economy affecting them, how do they see their industry changing, what are they like on employee flexibility (family sick, have to bring to doctor, etc.)...

If you do not have questions at all you will seem douchetastic. It is critical to just come up with some.
 
Personally, I like to experience a panic attack and complete mental lockdown at that time. Literally the only answer I am capable of giving to that question is an indeterminate grunt accompanied by a vigorous shake of the head.
