Questions to ask at interview

[evedawn]

i've got an interview tomorrow. I've had two others failry recently and get stumped when they say st the end of the intervie'd like to ask" ...i mean the last two interviews the interviewers have very succinctly conveyed the job etc...so i'm not left needing to ask a question...but any hints of "good " questions to ask would be helpful.

also - you know when they ask you to mention any "negatives or faults" one might have....I generaly say that if there is a fault it's that I tend to take ownership of too many things and have difficulty delegating as I believe if I want a job done i tend to do it myself....which is true...but any other hints at a "negative which I can turn into a positive" would be helpful.

I find keeping it real helps. When I'm recruiting I find unnecesary enthusiam and unnatural interests in things which are obviously are there just to impress are really offputting and tend to suggest you need a life more than a job :)
