QUESTION: What are some smart or useful questions to ask employers in an interview? If you were interviewing candidates for a job, what would you want to hear them ask of you when it came that time in the process?
First off make sure you've researched the company and can ask some relevant questions about opportunities or challenges they face.

Here's my power move...

As most HR reps will want to ask you a few behavioral questions, make sure to turn the tables and ask one back.

Ask the hiring manager, if present, something like:

Quote:
Tell me about a time when you and a subordinate submitted a project that you were really proud of for approval to your superior but weren't initially given the green light.
The example likely isn't perfect, but should give you a bit of an idea what direction to go.
