There is no list of absolute questions you must ask your interviewer. These questions should be unique for a few reasons: the company, the position, your genuine interest.

Knowing this, take time to research the company on their website, social media profiles and news articles to learn as much as you can about the company. During your research, you may have a few points you find intriguing and want to know more about. Make a note to ask these questions during your job interview. Showing a genuine interest in the company is a great way to set yourself apart from other candidates.
