When you're in the hot seat, there's a good chance your interviewer will
turn the tables at some point and ask, "Do you have any questions for

When you have the floor, you'll want to take full advantage of the
opportunity to show that you've done your homework and to determine if

- What does your company do?
- What will my salary be?
- Will I have to work long hours?
- How soon can I take a vacation?
- When will I be eligible for a raise?
- How quickly could I be considered for a promotion?
- Will I have my own office?
- What happens if I don't like the job or the people on my team?
- Will I have an expense account?
- Can you tell me about [your personal life]?
- Can I make personal calls during the day?
- Do you do background checks?
- Do you monitor emails or internet usage?
- Can I arrive early or leave late, as long as I get my work done?
- How did I do?
