1.What，exactly，does your company do？Never pose questions that a library search could have answered.
2.What does the job pay？Avoid money discussions until the interviewer makes you an offer.
3.How many vacation and personal days d o you allow？Makes you sound lazy――again，wait for the offer.
4.How long will it take me to get promoted？Try a less pushy4） version：“Can you describe what my career－advancement track might be like？”
5.Is that your husband in the picture on your desk？Don't initiate a personal discussion；stick to questions about her career path.
6.What are you going to do about the poor performance of Product X？Reframe the question positively：“What plans do you have to build sales f or Product X？”
7.What's your company's track record on promoting women and minorities？A legitimate5） question，but inter－viewers may worry that you'll sue if you don't advance quickly.Instead，check out the comp any' s reputation through the industry grapevine6）。

面試者在對你提問完畢之後總會問：“好，你有什麼問題嗎？”你可以詢問公司競爭對手的情況、公司的發展計劃以及獨特的`產品等等，藉此顯示你已進行過研究。但有些問題會使你顯得準備不足、過於心急或令人生厭。下面是8個常犯的錯誤。
1.你們公司究竟做什麼？決不要問這種到圖書館查一下就能得到答案的問題。
2.工資多少？在面試者主動向你提及之前，要避免討論錢的問題。
3.你們有多少假期？這樣問會使你顯得懶惰——同樣，應等面試者提。
4.我需要多久能得到提升？試一試較爲委婉的提法：“能談談我工作的前景嗎？”
5.桌上照片中的人是你的丈夫嗎？不要談論個人問題，應扣住她的事業提問。
6.某產品銷路不好，你們打算怎麼辦？應正面提問：“你們計劃怎樣提高某產品的銷售額？”
7.你們公司提升婦女和少數民族的業績如何？這是個合理的問題，但面試者可能但心你如果晉升不快會起訴他們。還是通過本行業內線來了解公司的聲譽爲好。
8.那我什麼時候上班？問得妙，但有點兒招人討厭。不要不請自來。
