Depending on the type of job you are applying for, ask what the next step in the interview will be. Ask for a time/date that you can follow up with the person you spoke to. Make sure you get the thank you letter out, reconfirming the call you will be making and make the call as agreed upon.
Be confident and not desperate.

Ask about the company - company history, operations, strategic direction.
Give the impression you're genuinely interested in where the company is going.
Ask about the job you're interviewing for. How many people will be working on your team? What types of projects are they working on now? What's in the pipeline for the near-future, and where is this team going to be in 1 year?
These are questions that should be popping into your own head almost instantaneously - don't be nervous, just sit down, slow it up and think about the job....the questions will come by themselves.
EDIT: Oh, and don't ask about compensation, vacation, or any of that $hit - that used to seriously piss me off when I would interview people, seeing as they haven't even been offered the job and are already thinking "ME ME ME".
EDIT #2: Oh about "Let them tell you" about money, don't let a company tell you what you're gonna get, or you'll end up under-salaried...but don't even think of discussing money, compensation, vacation until you've been OFFERED the job. Until there's an offer on the table, you have NO leverage. Once the job is offered you should know what the market rate is for the job, and stick with it. Know what you want, and be firm and assertive, but reasonable. You may have to give some things to get others, so decide what's most important - at that point, it's a matter of negotiation.

There are dozens of Q's you better not ask, such as How much will I get paid?, When can I expect benefits and be allowed to use excuses? When's Lunch? Can I have your job? Etc. Etc. Etc.
You will hopefully be chosen, or rejected fairly, based not only on your qualifications, but interview demeanor. You need not act the submissive, but certainly don't act the fool either.
Know the company before you ever interview. State your knowledge. Offer what YOU can do for them, not ask what they will do for you.
Speak distinctly, with modest assertiveness. Dress appropriately,,,even for a job doing fast oil changes,,, don't show up looking like you just did one. You can certainly ask about the companies projections for their own future, and explain how you might benefit them in THEIR goal.
No offense meant, but the lines waiting to be interviewed and obtain a decent job, are LONG, and your competition may be well versed as much as well experienced. I do suggest however, that you don't take any rejection as a personal attack,,, unless it happens to be a situation such as American Idol, and the interviewer is akin to Simon Cowell.

Is there room for growth within the company?
Ask them about how they emphasize team work within the workplace, the benefits of working there (not perks), etc.
Don't forget to ask, if they don't already, when you should hear from them. If it's a first interview, you'll want a rough idea of when they will call to follow up with a second interview (if they require them). If it's a second interview, you'll want to know when they will make their final decision (assuming no third).

you should ask intelligent questions about the company. Find all the information you can ahead of time on the Internet.
Generally, you want to know if the job is right for you. Ask if they could describe a day in the life of your job. Be sure to understand what benefits you will get. What will the environment be where you work? What the hours are?
And if you want the job, be sure to ASK for The JOB!!!
Don't ask about money. Let them tell you.

Questions to ask:
1. When will you be making a hiring decision?
2. How many other candidates are you interviewing for this position?

in the adventure that they don't take care of you want someone interior the interview, I doubt they could as their worker. It would not sound promising. until eventually of route you've been being interviewed by using honestly a mode of HR headhunting agencies that does interviews for 0.33 events. i imagine i'd have raised my voice only a touch and suggested, "earlier i go, there are a pair of issues i'd like some rationalization on" and in the adventure that they shooed me out, i does no longer take the pastime no matter if provided. no longer imparting you with any records on what's envisioned of you? it truly isn't any longer on.

Ask why you should work for them and not the competition. You can tell by the interviewer(s) reaction(s) whether or not you even want to work for them.
