Not only will these questions indicate to interviewer if you are right for job, but their answers will indicate to you if job is what you’re looking for. Just as you may not be a perfect fit for all companies, not all companies are a perfect fit for you. Just as you try to sell yourself to a company, a company should try to sell themselves to you. In this case you should ask questions like:

§Are there any plans for a corporate merger or outsourcing initiatives? With mergers and outsourcing often come layoffs. Before accepting a position you may want to be aware of this. Many job seekers are under impression that only unsuccessful companies downsize. That is not always true. §Are promotions based on seniority or accomplishments? Some companies still operate on seniority. No matter accomplishments or lack of accomplishments they are offered advancing positions before a new hire is. You should know that if you put in 110% that you will receive what you are due. §If you could change one thing about how this company functions, what would it be? Not every company functions perfectly and you may want to be aware of where their weaknesses lie.

The interviewer will recognize questions that have been prepared after thoughtful consideration. Take time to determine what is important to you and what you highly value in a company so you can ask appropriate and intelligent questions.
