I am interviewing today for a job I have been doing in a temporary statis for two years and I know at the end of the interview they are going to ask if I have any questions. The problem is I know this job better then them so what question could I possibly ask? Anyone have a generic question to ask at the end of an interview??

If I were you going for a job that I have been a temp in. I would state the obvious. Say " I don't really have any questions. I just want you to know that I have total faith in myself to continue doing this job that I have been doing for the past 2 years to the best of my abilities. I understand this job inside and out. I know I can help improve the ways things are here by becoming a full time employee. " Make sure you look them in the eyes the whole time they ask you questions and when you answer them continue looking them in the eye.

-- How big is the team that I am going to work with?
-- Who would be my immediate supervisor?
-- Can you give me any hints on how it is best to work with them?
-- If I have a problem whom do I contact? Problems: if you need to make a doctor's appointment, if you are sick--whom do you call? (Be careful with this question, you need a good problem to ask about.)

If it's a large company and you are talking with the HR department then they won't be able to answer these questions very well. The same could be true with a Temporary Agency that is hiring employees on Temp to Perm basis.

I had one killer question during an interview. The person I was interviewing for asked, "How many days in a year do you consider too be too many to take off sick." I told him anything more than 5 days. After the interview he said that a lot of people choked on that one. There was no right or wrong answer, as long as you didn't pick a to high number, but people who picked 0 weren't being realistic.

I would ask them if there are any additional questions that they have or if they would like any personal references. Then thank them for the interview. Later, I would email them or mail a thank you letter. In the letter rehash some of your good qualities & add anything you forgot or wanted to tell them but didn't have a chance. Then, tell them again that they can contact you if they have any additional questions. Close by thanking them and anyone else in the interview.

Based on the information you provided, the only natural question you can possible ask is:

"Are you aware that I know this job better than you do?"

That is certain to get their attention right off and then you can ask (as the killer-closer):

"When do I get reinbursed for my expenses for preparing for this interview and coming here to meet with you? Would you like my bill or do you just use the standard calculations?

That will show them that you are an able administrator who is aware of expense- and revenue-controls.

Best of luck, OK?

Tell the interviewer you want the job, and then ask the interviewer, "Is there anything else I can tell you that would help my chances of getting this job? "

then thank the interviewer for his or her time. Send a letter afterward,

Don't ask about the benefits as your LAST question. Smile and ask the interviewer if she likes working here....

Simple rule of sales

Always ask for the sale.

This may not be a sales position, but you are selling yourself tohe prospective company.

Thank them for their time, and then ask them when you can start.

I've think I've shown you that I am ready and able to do this job. Is there anything else I could do to demonstrate that to you?
