Ask about the typical career path at that company, what they like about their job, the culture, any concerns you might have, etc. Basically, things that would concern you if you were to get this job.

very good stuff here^

How has the position evolved since it has been created?

How many hours will I be working per pay period?

How will I be evaluated for raises and bonuses?

I like the first one a lot, not so much the other two...

I'd ask how many hours a week is the position.. 37.5, 40, etc.

I'd ask how is my performance measured/evaluated - not for/about raises and bonuses, imho.

Feel free to ask anything. You can ask about benefits, pay, vacation...really anything you want. Its always good to ask about the career path or where the company sees itself going. Just make sure you ask a question or two.

I would skip pay, but everything else is good, esp the career path and company goals, etc.

best of luck. I totally missed this, but go go go! :thumbup::happyanim::clap:

Another good one is asking about tuition reimbursement. If you're genuinely interested it's good to ask because it shows you're considering furthering your education in the field to make you a better employee.

Oh yeah you're on pacific time. Good luck! Stay calm and be yourself!

I always ask the interviewer about how they like working for the company they work for. It catches them off guard but it is usually informative to hear a current employees thoughts of the company to see if it is a good fit for you.

I know probably too late to see this but for future reference!

Good Luck!

About half an hour after the interview I got a call from human resources asking for references and a background check. I feel like this is good.

I would say that is a very good sign! Lets just hope the background check doesn't encompass this thread haha.

Typically it is. a company won't waste money on background checks, drug tests, etc. If they don't want to hire.

Good Luck!!! :thumbsup:

If you haven't already make sure your Facebook is very private or under a code name just in case they try and check. If you have nothing bad on there then don't worry. When I went for my big interview I went through my Facebook and made sure to delete any stupid pics/posts.

I will definitely do that. I had to use my Facebook for my old job so it should be safe.

When is the appropriate time to hit someone up for a booty call?
