I was at a loss for the right questions to ask and I've been scouring the internet. This article with suggested questions nailed it for me. I appreciate the article...it ended my search and armed me with the right angles to take.

I think those kind of questions would be the equivalent of buying signals in a sales conversation. It will let the employer know that you are genuinely interested. Because I didn't do that during a job interview, I wound up sitting in a room of computer geeks who did everything online, which meant the room was quieter than a library and I was making lots of phone calls, talk about uncomfortable! I eventually moved, but into a cube in a sales area, but they didn't talk on the phone either and when they did, they went into a phone room which faced my cubicle, so I was constantly having a door closed in my face. Talk about bad Feng Shui! It was, I got laid off--never again. I will definitely add those questions to my list of corporate culture questions.

Can I ask for some advice? I am 22-years-old and already on my 2nd job. I worked one place for almost 1 year before leaving because I wanted to relocate to a different city closer to friends and where my boyfriend got a killer job (350 miles away from my job at the time). I already felt iffy about changing jobs so soon, but now, less than 3 months into my next job, I realize this is not the job for me at all and I need to switch ASAP. I don't want to list this job on my resume, but I am concerned about what to say when interviewing about the large gap. Admitting to leaving my job quickly makes me look unreliable, but saying I was unemployed for that long looks like I am inadequate. If it helps, I am a software engineer. Advice? Thanks, Sara I always make sure to ask interested questions at my interviews (namely “what is your favorite part of working here”) but I am intrigued by these and will have to try them in my impending job hunt.
