For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you offer me the job, can you tell me where I'm likely to be in three and five years time? What are my development prospects? What internal processes do you employ to help employees learn and develop themselves?
Will I be able to transfer to other functions within the company to improve my skills?
What forms of company communication do you use to update employees on what is happening within the organisation?
Why this the person previously doing the job leave?
I've done quite well from asking (if appropriate) - "Could you tell me a bit about the work you've been doing this/last week?" "Where would I fit in/be able to contribute to the team on similar projects in the future?"
Getting them to talk about themselves will usually make them happy, and it shows an interest in the business and a willingness to contribute. Good luck!
And don't ask anything that was in the literature/on the website that you should have read for yourself before you got there.
I'd personally say that asking what's in it for you, at interview, is the wrong time. If they make you an offer (which of course only happens if you sell yourself well at interview) THEN you can ask questions like that to help you decide whether or not you really really want to take it. But the interview is a time to convince THEM that they want YOU, not vice versa.
Others will say/have said different, so you have a choice of approaches to take. Hopefully you'll tell us which you took and if you got an offer! :-)
