After he/she describes the position and gives an overview of the company - what else is left to inquire about? It's not like you can ask what the pay is (which is probably the most desirable information). Usually, I'm inclined to say, "no, you've covered everything". But I know that's not the ideal response. Suggestions?

I was told a good answer to this question just this week, ask:
"If i get this role, what will a typical day be?" If you are having training initially or plan to work your way up, add "in the first 6 months", "after 12 months" etc? This will show that you plan to stay with them, but also that you are eager for information about this job, and expect to go far in their company.
If the interviewer is your boss, or in a similar role, ask what his typical day is. Applying a little pressure to them shows that you are serious, are not afraid to ask questions when you want an answer and will also get a more honest answer than the usual stuff that they tell you.
Finally, do a little research, find out who the companies recent clients are, any new marketing pushes they have had, just recent events really, and ask what involvement your interviewer had, furthermore, ask them how successful the project was.
Overall, create an impression that you are eager to work for the company, but also that the company has to be write for you, ask how many new staff they are taking on, if the company is pushing any new practices/technologies/clients, how many new staff are they taking on? why so many all of a sudden etc

That response is only good if the interviewer has indeed covered EVERYTHING you want to know. If not, then you are not being honest. Not good. You could ask such things as what the turnover rate is, or what kind of repore the bosses have with their workers, etc. An interviewer takes your asking questions as a way of knowing whether you are one of those people who will just sit back and be obvlivious to what's going on around you, or one who will question things that don't feel quite right to you. So ask sensible questions. Not "when does my vacation kick in?", or "when am I getting my first raise?" Get hired first. Good luck.

Its no longer that, I wold be offended, yet that the organization ought to be offended. do no longer forget which you're additionally interviewing the organization and once you notice a situation as blatant as asking job applicants in the event that they're married....properly, it is barely a symptom of a bigger situation. there is not any stable reason to ask a interviewee in the event that they're married. the only very own question the interviewer ought to ask is "are you able to do the job with/and not using a actual looking lodging"?

Asking good questions is how you get the job. If you have nothing to ask, it will appear that you aren't really interested in a job. Write down a few questions to ask before the interview. It doesn't really matter if you want to know the answers -- just act like you are interested.

If you have questions then ask them. Being shy will get you under paid every time!

Just say when they ask the question "Is that a boggy on the end of your nose"
