There's a lot of stuff written about how job candidates should, and should not, respond to interview questions.
But what about looking at the job interview from the other angle ?
How about some advice on how the candidate can interview the "interviewer", to determine if the company is a good match for the employee, and not just vice-versa, which is the typical topic along these lines.
What are some good questions to ask the interviewer - but again, not just questions just for the sake of asking an "impressive question" to please them, but a truly functional question, to determine if the management AND the company overall is going to be pleasant and beneficial TO YOU ? Naturally, you don't want to be stuck in a miserable position, working for a miserable manager, and/or a miserable corporation.
Interviews should be 2-way. Both parties should be satisfied in this mutual agreement, and relationship. You should have just as much of a right to put them "on the spot" (to a certain respectful degree, of course), as they should have the right to put YOU on the spot.
So, what are some strategies that you use, to determine if you want to "hire" this particular company to be your boss ?
Also, what are some good "forums" where employees rate and review businesses, as a place to work for ?
