2. Weekly Jobseeker Tip: Bring Some Questions

Most employers end an interview by asking if you have any questions, and you should always have something ready. Before you interview, prepare a list of questions about the company and the job you are applying for. It is appropriate to ask where the company is heading, the factors in receiving callbacks, or more specifics about responsibilities of the position.
