A lot of folks are out of work so as a public service I'm going to pass on information I've been collecting from the various networking meetings I've been attending.
WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT ASK IN THE FIRST ROUNDS OF INTERVIEWING:
*Don't ask about salary, stock options, vacation, holiday schedule or benefits.
*Don't ask questions that have already been answered in the interview, just for the sake of asking something
*Don't grill the interviewer. It's okay to ask about the personal background but only as an interested party, not an interrogator.
QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK DURING THE FIRST ROUNDS OF INTERVIEWING:
*May I see a copy of the job description?
*Why has the job become available?
*What qualities are you seeking in the person for this job?
*What is the next step?
*When will you make your selection?
Also, prepare five or six questions before the interview and take them with you. When the time comes for you to ask questions, take out your list. This will show good preparation on your part. This time is a valuable opportunity to get the information you need to help make an informed decision.
