It’s been hours.
You’ve met half a dozen people who’ve filed in and out of the conference room you’ve been camped in all day. You’ve answered their questions like a champ time after time and the final session is winding down.
“Do you have any questions for us?” your potential boss asks. Your mind is suddenly wiped clean. You blurt, “No, thank you.” The interview is over. And after all that hard mental work, you’ve left a limp last impression.
It’s a common career nightmare—and reality. Fortunately, John Kador, author of 301 Best Questions to ASK In Your Interview, is ready to wake you up with questions that will showcase your smarts, experience, and intuition. Join the free webinar:

These are just a taste of the questions Kador wants you to add to your repertoire. He writes, “Asking questions like these is not for the faint of heart but, then again, neither is succeeding in today’s hyper-competitive job market.”
