But  it’s not always easy for prospective employees to show interviewers who  they are, and how well they’ve done their homework. The best chance  comes when you’re asked the inevitable – but tricky – open-ended  question: “What questions do you have?”This is an interviewer’s  chance to find out how much research you’ve done, how self-absorbed you  are, and where your priorities lie.There are good and bad ways to  respond. If you want to mess up what might have been an otherwise  successful interview, be sure to ask one of the following:1. “What will my salary be?” -- followed by the even worse, “And how often do you give raises?2. “What are your policies regarding vacation, time off, and breaks?”3. “Can you tell me about your healthcare plan? Will my spouse be covered?”The  first questions reflect a “what’s in it for me?” attitude. The second  two are the types of questions more appropriate for human resources than  for your valuable time with a decision-maker. There’s plenty of time to  learn about these issues if an offer is made.So instead of  asking questions about you, try asking a few about the place to which  you may be devoting a great deal of your future time and energy:1. “How can new employees become familiar with, and begin to contribute to, the culture you’ve developed here?2. “What’s the most important way that your company differentiates itself from competitors?” (Focus the question on the particular industry you’re in, showing that you’re knowledgeable about the company and its sector.)3. “What are a few of the most important challenges that the industry is facing, and how is your company going to approach them?4. “What  might I do to add the greatest value to the business?” -- followed by,  “What kinds of things can I do to prepare myself for the job?”These  questions reveal three important things: that you know the company has a  unique culture; that you understand that a successful business is  ultimately about offering something unique to the market, and that  you're already imagining yourself as part of a winning team.If  such an open-ended question scares you, don’t let it. If you’re ready,  you can transform a challenge into an opportunity, and either get the  job offer or get called back for a second interview, where your  interviewers will remember how prepared you were for the toughest  question of all.</blockquote>
