What are the opportunities for training and progression within the company?"
"What is the companies position and role within the development of (whatever field of work you are applying for)?"

"Could you tell me more about the stucture and any plans for future expansion and development of the company?"

Don't worry. You really do not have to ask too many questions ~ in an interview it is usually the Interviewer who guides the conversation. Best rule is to be dressed neatly with neat hair and clean hands and listen closely and respectfully during the interview. Also, don't talk too much; don't appear over confident; and don't let your attention wander. Absolutely do not ask either of the above two questions! If you have to ask those questions it will be a big turn-off and immediately evident you have not done your homework on the company. Also, asking to take work home during at interview is a No-No. Good Luck!

don't ask your first question phrased that way as rather than showing commitment to training at home it sounds like you want to utilise the software - caution with that one. Would suggest - what key words would you use to describe either - your self as a manager if the interviewer is going to be your manager or if not - key wordds to describe the working environment i'll be in. Also what is the company culture? Have fun and relax. Remeber to ask when will i hear if i've been successful?

I have an interview tomorrow too.
You can ask about training (if it pertains to the job) and other opportunities you could seek out once you've been on the job awhile. Like growth and stuff.
Oh if it's a publicly traded company, you should research it online by checking out their website too. Usualy the "about us" link tells a lot about a co. and will make you stand out in an interview. You want to know "products, customers, brief history" and mention it in the inteview. They will be impressed compared to someone who don't know diddly.

I always ask when they will make a decision or when I can expect to hear back from them...otherwise I sit like a nervous wreck for the next few weeks with my heart beating faster every time the phone rings. Better to know for sure!

Incase you hire me for the position, what are the opportunities you could offer me to grow with in the company?
what benefits and privileges to do you offer to your employees?

indeed.
You need to know a Career Path that maybe open to you.
And ask if they have examples of this with existing staff.
Its nerve racking but..
Remember to "interview" the employer too!
