I"m so nervous!!
I concur!
I HATE it when a potential staff member doesn't have any questions for me - or when I ask general questions about the commuity etc and they don't have an answer....
Look at the company website and do some research - it doesnt have to be a tough question but it will let them know you've been interested enough to look.
I love it when people ask "off topic questions" like... "I saw on your website that you are involved with Kiwanis. What is that?"
It has nothing to do with work and everything to do with something I am interested in. In answering the question I can tell the employee a lot about who I am as a PERSON - which gives them the chance to know me better... also it tells me they've take the time to at least google me! Lord knows I've already seen their myspace page!
because I am in sales in a relativley small community I alwasy as "what do you know about the people who live in Liberty Lake?" often I get blank stares - people dont have a clue.... If I get an answer like - above average income white golfer community I at least know people have looked!

thanks once again! :) i did do a little research on their web site, but I don't have a question. i would be one you hate! ha i've already done this before so im not sure what i would have a question about. guess i better hurry and come up with something. and here i thought i was ready for my interview....geeshhhhh :D
that would work just fine!
I also like - is this a new position or an existing one? If it is an existing one what happened to the last employee??? if it is new then ask if they are experiencing growth or moving in a new direction
