  • If it's a company you've never worked for, you should be able to do at least some minor research and come up with questions about the company as a whole and the corporate culture.

    You should also be able to come up with questions specific to the job. What a typical day is like. What other people in this position like/don't like about it. What the manager's management style is. Etc.

  • In addition to the above poster's questions, I always like to spin it back to being about me. At the end of the interview I ask them based on what we discussed, if there is any reason why I wouldn't be an ideal candidate. That gives us an opportunity to discuss any specific issues they might have, and I've found that it makes me seem more confident. I've also found that it gives me a good indication of my chances. Good luck!
  • ah interesting thread. I am taking notes for when I finally get called in for an interview these are helpful tips! thanks:)
  • I just have a follow up question about this question.

    Would asking about the interviewer educational/career background (if it is a manager of the department) be a good question to ask?

  • I agree with Dr. Loretta...definitely do some research on the company and ask some specific questions based on your research.  This can also be helpful when preparing a cover letter for a specific company.

  • I'd ask what they find to be the frustrating aspects of the job, ask if there are specific skills needed to do the job, and anything else that comes up in the interview.

    Depends on the reason.
