How To Interview the Interviewer?

As the interview comes to a close, one of the final questions you may be asked is "What can I answer for you?" Have interview questions of your own ready to ask. You aren't simply trying to get this job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and the position are a good fit for you. Interview Questions to Ask: 

• How would you describe the responsibilities of the position? 
• How would you describe a typical week/day in this position? 
• Is this a new position? If not, what did the previous employee go on to do? 
• What is the company's management style? 
• Who does this position report to? If I am offered the position, can I meet him/her? 
• How many people work in this office/department? •How much travel is expected? 
• Is relocation a possibility? 
• What is the typical work week? Is overtime expected? 
• What are the prospects for growth and advancement? 
• How does one advance in the company? 
• Are there any examples? 
• What do you like about working here? 
• What don't you like about working here and what would you change? 
• Would you like a list of references? 
• If I am extended a job offer, how soon would you like me to start? 
• What can I tell you about my qualifications? 
• When can I expect to hear from you? 
• Are there any other questions I can answer for you? Interview Questions NOT to Ask:
