So, do you have any questions?

It's interviewing season. We are preparing how to answer questions- how we got into accounting, why we want to work for their company, what our strengths/weaknesses are. At some point, the interviewer will turn the tables and it will be our turn to ask questions. This portion of the interview is just as important as the rest of it. The professional on the other side of the table will take note of what kind of questions you are asking. You should ask a little about the interviewer's background, but mainly focus on asking questions that would help you decide if YOU want to work there. Be creative and try not to ask the same questions everyone else is asking. Here are some sample questions:

How would you describe the ideal candidate?
Is there a training program for new hires?
Do interns/new hires get mentors?
What keeps you at ____(insert company name here)____?
How do you find the work/life balance?

Just a few ideas for starters.
