Instead of letting the interviewer pose all the questions,
you can consider asking these questions:
1. What are the main objectives and responsibilities of the
position?
2. How does the organization expect these objectives to be
met?
3. What challenges or obstacles are commonly encountered in
reaching these objectives?
4. What is the desired time frame for reaching the
objectives?
5. What resources are available from the company and what must be
found elsewhere to reach the objectives?
6. How would you characterize the management philosophy of this
organization? Of your department?
7. What strengths and weaknesses currently exist in the staff that
will report to me?
8. How has this organization changed in the past, and where does it
expect to go in the future?
9. What is the top priority of the person who accepts this job? How
will he or she be judged in 6-12 months?
10. What are the next steps in this selection process?
