I said I am the interviwee, I am not doing the interview!
2006-06-13 07:08:51 · update #1
I would ask
"If I am lucky enough to be offered this position, and other opportunities are offered to me at the same time, why do you think that I should accept your offer of employment?"

If it is a job you are interested in taking then ask general questions about the company. When and how did it get started? Have they won any awards or any special recognition in certain fields? How long have they been in business? How were they founded? Questions like these will show the interviewer that you are genuinely interested in the job and that you want to be informed about the company. Before you go to the interview you should check out their website that way you can relate when questions are asked. This will also help you think of other things to say and ask. This has always worked for me.
Good Luck!

After looking at the answers you have already it is clear that people on the whole do not read everything written in fromt of them.
I think the question has to be something which shows you have thoroughly researched the company.
I would ask something that made it sound like I was imagining my future with the company. Maybe "How do you see the company going in the next 5 years & how will that affect my place in the company?".

A few questions I like to ask are as follows:
What do you most enjoy about working for this company?
How long has it taken you to progress to where you are now?
What have been you main achievements in your role?
This will give you an insight into how much the interviewer enjoyed working for the company. If you get a bad vibe is this the company you want to have your career with?

Ask as many questions about the job and the company. If they have a web site check out their press release section and their hiring page, as it can give an indication the direction the company is going. You might get some ideas on clever questions to ask.
Bottom line, there is no one "best question", but being enthusiastic and asking appropriate questions about the company, the management and the role, will gain you points!

Do your research on the company or place of work.
Find out about any recent job losses, share price movements, and recent board room changes.
Have they recently aquired new partners, suppliers, contracts etc.
What are the benefits, do they have a pension plan, private health care, or give you company car? (find out prior)
The key is finding out as much as you can about the company and the job, prior to the interview then formulate your questions based on things you may already have an opinion of. i.e. show that you have done your homework and have an active interest in the company or role you are applying for.
You must appear smart and confident but not brash. Avoid one word answers to questions, but don't ramble on.
Remember you are trying to sell yourself, but don't make the price too cheap or overly expensive.
If not successful do not take it too much to heart, ask them for a reason so you can sharpen your weak points.
Good luck.

I don´t have any good questions, but I have a very good answer. If they ask you how much do you expect to make answer ¨ I expect to make the ammount established by the company¨ this reveals in you a sense of loyalty and they like that.

"What does a person in this position need to do to be successful?"
This not only tells you the skills that they are looking for, but what you will be judged on if you actually get the job.
Also, always do your homework and ask something about the company that shows you have an interest in working there.

Where do you see the company going in the next few years?
Is there room to move up and grow WITH the company?

Ask questions about the job and your responsibilities. Ask about the company. Ask questions that show you are interested and excited about the job.
Avoid questions about pay and benefits. That discussion comes later.
