Questions to Ask the Interviewer
Interviewing is a conversation. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during
the job interview and the interviewer will very likely gauge your interest in the
position based on the questions you ask.
Do not ask about salary, benefits, vacations, or any other job perks. This kind of
information is usually discussed in the second interview or later.
