When they ask if you have any questions for them, ask the interviewer if they foresee any issues with you moving on to the next step. (In my experience it forces them to look at you as a whole and give more honest feedback)

I agree with this.

I’ve used this tactic and sometimes the interviewer slips up and gives you a very honest feedback EVEN if they are not allowed to do so (company policy)

At other times, you’ll hear the tone of their voice or their facial expression change and you know you’ve done well or not well (seeeln this played out both ways).

Other times they will just end with “I think you’ll hear back from us very soon” (good news).

Either way, use this question
