Best Questions Asked by Applicants

What have been some of the best questions asked of you during your experiences with interviewing prospective job applicants? When listing some of the best questions asked of them by job applicants, employers provided several excellent examples. Their questions are categorized into the following groups: general topics, career motivation, anticipated job responsibilities, work environment, affirmative action, quality of work, personality factors, products and services, employment trends, measures of work performance, salary and benefits, and interview closure items. When graduating students are preparing for interviews with prospective employers, this list could be very helpful. S,@M$W0F4z)y
