This thread is a perfect example of how shitty posters are. The place is full of idiots who think they are funny. I know, I know. Melt, blah, blah.

My go-to is, what is one concern you have with offering me this job? It allows you to further address what they may consider a weakness and also shows you are comfortable with critical feedback.

Will I always have to be the one dropping the fries or is that a shared duty?

How will my success be measured? Depending on the role, it's not always clear. That's my goto

How hard is it to get workers comp?
mental health benefits?

I always ask how the position came open, what's the queue of projects to work on first, key relationships I will need to develop, tailored to fit with how the interview went and the particular job.

I usually find that most of my questions are answered in the flow of the interview.

It also depends on whether you are talking to somebody in HR or an actual line person.

"What is the turnover rate at your company?"

I don't know if that's a good question, but it's always fun hearing their responses.

What they like most/least about working for the company.

How did the position you're interviewing for become available?

Answering those two questions got me to where I am today.

Splendid isolation, I don't need no one....

Two rules:

1. Not selfish (e.g., any question about benefits)
2. Not ignorant (e.g., anything that shows you didn't do your homework)

Questions like "what are you looking for out of this position?" or "what is your timeline for making a decision?" are relatively neutral.

Don't laugh but my highest paid employee got hired because he ask me this:

"Do you mind if I work for free a couple of weeks to prove to you my worth?"

How can you turn that down? He walked in looking for a job and we were not hiring and he was very persistent. I told him we just were not going to hire for a little while. He sprung that on me and it's been great for both of us every since.

You may not want to do that but I can assure you evidence of assertiveness are appreciated by those interviewing IF they are the individuals responsible for the bottom line.

Things like "can I work on commission?" or "what areas do you need the most help in to make more money?"

Best to ask a question you already know the answer to.

Stick to anything related to the growth and progress of the company. They are always impressed by that. It shows you are genuinely interested in being a part of the team.
